[Verse]
Fm               Db          Fm                 Eb
I was born into this terror, unsuspecting as I was
Fm              Db     Fm           Eb
Just a lifeward child, not aware of all the misery
Fm   Db         Fm                  Eb             Fm
No idea of the blame this world already had to shoulder
              Db    Fm            Eb
As an untold crime came down and sealed my fate
Cm Ab      Eb  Cm      Ab   Fm
No premonition of the doom impending
Cm   Ab     Bb Cm             Eb
Not knowing of my strife for life to come
Cm   Ab    Bb        Cm         Ab   Fm
Soon gone were the years of my levity
Cm Ab   Bb     Cm               Fm
Eleven summers before darkness fell

[Chorus]
Cm                     Bb         Fm
Keep this paper crane, one of a thousand
Cm          Fm              Ab
There never was a guilt to burden myself
Cm          Gm   Eb      Fm
My hopeless cry, it went unheard
Cm         Fm                 Ab                   Eb
And unlike me, you knew there were no gods to save me

[Verse]
Fm        Db         Fm          Bb                 Fm
Still no idea of the blame this world would have to shoulder
   Db                Fm          Eb
As for one last time I bid the cranes farewell
Cm  Ab   Eb      Cm    Ab    Fm
Passing by like timid ghosts
Cm           Ab  Bb    Cm
Summoners of a placid world
Eb     Dm      Cm
Never reaching me
Ab      Bb    Cm
Masters of a peaceful life
Ab     Fm    Cm         Ab    Bb
Moving on to stainless shores
Cm             Fm Cm
Never teaching me

[Bridge]
Cm
Now I lay my aching hands to rest
Bb
As I bid my crane farewell
Cm Fm
Ab                 Bb         Cm          Bb     Gm    Cm
And I wish for an echo of my forlorn life to be your melody

[Chorus]
Cm          Gm          Bb       Fm
Keep this paper crane, one of a thousand
Cm          Fm             Ab
There never was a guilt to burden myself
Cm          Gm   Eb           Fm
My hopeless cry, it went unheard
Cm         Fm                 Ab
And unlike me, you knew there were no gods to save me
Eb Bb       Db    ab        Eb       Ab    B
All hope in vain, you just murdered them
Eb Bb          Db    Ab      B                Eb
Banished the crane from the meadows of this life
