Verse (1:14)

F#                D#m
There was a time, dark and divine,
Bbm                Ab
Exciting and new, shameful untrue
F#               D#m
Free to explore, we had it all.
Bbm                Ab
Towering trust, insatiable lust



Chorus (1:45)

F#                 D#m
Clouding the truth both of us knew
      Bbm             Ab
This sordid affair is ending in 
tears
    F#             D#m
Yes we must go on, knowing the wrong
Bbm                Ab
Hunting the day it was taken away

Bridge (3:00)

F#           D#m       Bbm     
Oh, all our love; fell down to 
Ab
Earth.
F#               D#m        Bbm 
Here, broken and cold, with 
     Ab
great remorse



Verse (3:30)

F#
Before a while it all made sense
D#m
It might have been just a dark 
pretence
        Bbm
But you had me
      Ab
And I left it



Verse (3:46)

F#
To be with you, to be the one,
D#m
To live a lie
                         Bbm
It really got me all excited.
         Ab
I felt wanted



Verse (4:01)

F#                 D#m
Then in the dark a sorrowing sigh
     Bbm            Ab
Was taken away. Deliverance came
F#                 D#m
Fell from the sky. Heaven replied
   Bbm                Ab
Salvation in strings, silent and 
clean.



Verse (4:30)

F#                 D#m
All that we were, all that we knew
Bbm             Ab
Faded away with tears in the rain.
     F#                D#m
Yes all that we were, all that we 
knew
    Bbm              Ab
Is fading away like tears in the 
rain.



Outro (5:00)

F#                   D#m
    All that we were     all that we
 knew
Bbm             Ab
    Fading away
F#                   D#m
    All that we were     all that we
 knew
Bbm             Ab
    Fading away
