Am          F                G           Am
Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Am        F               G              E
Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true 
Am          F               G          Am
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
F             G     F
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world 

Pre-verse:
Am, Dm, Am, G (2x)

Verse 1:
Am           G
Life was an emotional knife 
           Em                F
It cut the flesh, it hit the bone 
          G       Am
It made reality a web of lies 
Am            G
Life was a perpetual high 
          Em             F
Up on the wire without a net 
            G             Am
He couldn't balance so he took a dive 

Pre-chorus 1:
F          C                 G            Am
When Vegas called he got the message far away 
F                C                G
They begged this worn out king to play 
F          C                G              Am
The mighty fall, inside the measure of the day 
F        C                E
It's pitiful, it's all in vain 

Chorus 1:
Am          F                G           Am
Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Am        F               G              E
Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true 
Am          F               G          Am
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
F             G     F
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world

Verse 2:
Am             G
Life and its unbearable fire 
              Em             F
The night his mother passed away 
              G             Am
He poured his soul into her funeral pyre 
Am                 G
Life, through unforgettable eyes 
              Em                F
For though he tried to face the dark 
            G             Am
He lost the battle but he never dies 

Pre-chorus 2:
F         C              G            Am
He had it all somehow he let it slip away 
F           C            G
Much of his death is unexplained 
F          C             G              Am
Now just a memory shines out beyond the grave
F         C            E 
Remembers all that now remains 

Chorus 2:
Am          F                G           Am
Shock, disbelief stained the blackest of mornings 
Am        F               G              E
Lost in a scene from this nightmare come true 
Am          F               G          Am
This wasn't meant to be the end of the story 
F             G     F                          G
Now that it's done, the pain lingers on in the world
F                 G 
Lingers on in the world... oh!
