C#                   C#
Fear  |  It's all the same
       bb           G#
Should I evolve  |  To tend to these 
C#                      C#
sights  |  Said out loud then said again
           bb                       G#
If fate's so wrong  |  You'll start to feel lightheaded
   F#  G#   bb    C#    C#      G#
By my  ad - mis - sion, nothing grows
       F#    G#  bb   C#      C#     G#
Just a lon - ger list of un - sorted laws

   F#
So why then
         C#   bb   G#  ( C# )  F# 
Has all my life made no        sound
           bb   C#    G#  ( C# )  F#
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
   C#   bb   G#  ( C# )  F# 
My life made no        sound
          bb   C#    G#    C#
I fear your eyes clo - sing

C#           C#
Revolting man
           bb                  G#
This sacred chain  |  Brought down to 
C#                      C#
trial  |  No better man could fail the way
           bb                  G#
You needed all  |  Keep close the vein of empty Thoughts
    F#   G#   bb   C#       C#         G#
The fi - nest ri - ver, The ravens tend
        F#   G#   bb    C#         C#        G#
All a - long in - sis - ting We're worlds away

   F#
So why then
         C#   bb   G#  ( C# )  F# 
Has all my life made no        sound
           bb   C#    G#  ( C# )  F#
And are your eyes Clo - sing even now
   C#   bb   G#  ( C# )  F# 
My life made no        sound
          bb   C#    G#    C#
I fear your eyes clo - sing
