Damocles

      G7M(9)                    C2
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blueblossom days
        G7M(9)                C2
If only Damocles would hit me back
   G7M(9)                C2
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
         G7M(9)                      C2
Would prevent my head from fading to black

                  G7M(9)           C2
And it feels like falling into the sea
            G7M(9)             C2
From outer space in seconds to me
              Em                C7M
And I play discordant days on repeat
           D5/A           C7M
Until they look like harmony

         C7M
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
G
No one else knows that I've got a problem
C7M
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G
What if the diamond days are all gone?
    D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Em
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

( Em  G  C7M )

        G7M(9)
Well, I know I should be touring
  C2
I know these chords are boring
      G7M(9)                      C2
But I can't always be killing the game
   G7M(9)                 C2
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
        G7M(9)                C2
Will do anything but feel the same

                  G7M(9)           C2
And it feels like falling into the deep
               G7M(9)          C2
From somewhere way up over the peaks
              Em                C7M
And I play discordant days on repeat
          D5/A             C7M
Until the tape runs out on me

         C7M
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
G
No one else knows that I've got a problem
C7M
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G
What if the diamond days are all gone?
    D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Em
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

    C7M    Em             G             D5/A
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
             C7M       D5/A                A2           C7M
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
      C7M    Em              G          D5/A
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
        C7M            D5/A           A2
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell

         C7M
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
G
No one else knows that I've got a problem
C7M
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
G
What if the diamond days are all gone?
    D5/A
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Em
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
