Damocles

[Primeira Parte]

      G5                          C2
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blueblossom days
         G5                    C2
If only Damocles would hit me back
   G5                     C2
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
        G5                            C2
Would prevent my head from fading to black

                   D5/A              C/G
And it feels like falling into the sea
            D5/A                C/G
From outer space in seconds to me
              Bm7                C/G
And I play discordant days on repeat
           D5/A           C/G
Until they look like harmony

[Refrão]

          C/G
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
D5/A
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Em
Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem
C/G
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G5
What if the diamond days are all gone?
D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

[Segunda Parte]

         G5
Well, I know I should be touring
   C/G
I know these chords are boring
       G5                          C/G
But I can't always be killing the game
    G5                     C/G
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
        G5                     C/G
Will do anything but feel the same

                   D5/A              C/G
And it feels like falling into the deep
               D5/A             C/G
From somewhere way up over the peaks
              Bm7               C/G
And I play discordant days on repeat
          Bm7               C/G
Until the tape runs out on me

[Refrão 2]

          C/G
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
D5/A
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Em
Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem
C/G
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G5
What if the diamond days are all gone?
D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

[Ponte]

     Am     Em             G5             D5/A
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
             C/G        D5/A                  Am
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
      Am      Em              G5          D5/A
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
         C/G            G5              Am
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell

[Refrão Final]

          C/G
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
D5/A
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Em
Come up for air and choke on it all

No one else knows that I've got a problem
C/G
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G5
What if the diamond days are all gone?
D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
