VERSE:
Bm Bm D D
I wish that I could be
A A G G
In the cellars of the sea
Bm Bm D D
And disappear in them
A A G G
Never to be seen again

Bm Bm D D
Live this life
A A G G
Its unrelenting appetite
Bm Bm D D
For feeding off the weak
A A G G
Who never had their time to speak

PRECHORUS:
Bm Bm Gmaj7 Gmaj7
The sky will be my shroud
Em Em G G A A
A A monumental cloud

CHORUS:
D D D/C# D/C#
If we could turn back, you can't paper over the crack
Em Em A A
But it will return now, and your heart will burn black

VERSE:
Bm Bm D D
Give me your hand
A A G G
Cut the skin, let me in

The molecules of us

Every day a false start, and it burns my heart

Everything is here forever, till it goes
A A Gmaj7 Gmaj7
You gave it all away, kept nothing for yourself
Just a picture on the shelf

FRENCH:
Bm Bm - Gmaj7 Gmaj7 - Em Em - G G - A A

Je souhaiterais merger
Dans les profondeurs des mers
Y disparatre
Pour ne plus jamais tre vu

BRIDGE 2:
D D
Burning up now
A A Em Em
And I'm racing down a road I don't recognise
I realise I've

CHORUS:
D D D/C# D/C#
Forgotten my way home, forgotten everything that I know

Every day a false start, and it burns my heart
