  Intro:     Em        D    C


Em
 The silence comes back round again
     D                          C
 An emptiness where once were flames
         Em
 When I fell upon your shoulders like the rain
      D                                 C
 You held me down to drown beneath the waves
D           C
 It's over, almost over
D                         C
 This kind of passion can only end in pain


                   E
 Like a crown of thorns
 Bm                                Am              
 I can't wear this love around my heart
                C                   D               E          
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
    Bm                                Am
 I wear the memories you leave like scars
           C            D
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing
 Am                  C       D        E
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start


 E      Bm      Am      C   D  


Em
 I feel that every time I breathe
     D                    C
 The oxygen is suffocating me
Em
 It's not a sacrifice we can make
     D                            C
 To be the king and queen of heartache
D           C
 It's over, almost over


                   E
 Like a crown of thorns
 Bm                                Am              
 I can't wear this love around my heart
                C                   D               E          
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
    Bm                                Am
 I wear the memories you leave like scars
           C            D
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing
 Am                  C       D        E
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start


 E      Bm      Am      C   D  


 Em
 Parting is a sweet sorrow
          C          Am
 But the marks only fade with time
Em                        C          Am
 I believe that there is life on the other side
D           C
 It's over, almost over


                   E
 Like a crown of thorns
 Bm                                Am              
 I can't wear this love around my heart
                C                   D               E          
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark
    Bm                                Am
 I wear the memories you leave like scars
           C            D
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing
 Am                  C       D        
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the 
 Am                  C       D        E 
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the stars


 E      Bm      Am      C   D   x 2


Em
 The silence comes back round again
