[Verse]
                C         
Take me back to nineteen - 
 D      G
twenty-two.
B7                Em
Let echoes of the past bleed through
    E                         C   
And find before your eyes, an 
  D       G
ashen scene unfold
  B7               Em
A young girl who's all alone,
    E                    C        
she cries, racing down a darkened 
D         G
street by night
    B7            Em
The flicker of an old gaslight.
      E                           
Bells chime. Reminds her that the 
C         D         G
wasteland needs its fill
    B7           Em
For now my beating heart be still


[Pre-Chorus]
Am          C              Em
  Leave the flowers at the gates.
                       G           
If the rain fades your name, leave 
    Am        C
it to fate, to fate


[Chorus]
G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D

G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D          E

[Verse]
               C       D      G
Take me back into that bloody haze.
B7             Em
We'll set those lies ablaze
   E                   C     
Be kind! Lily's had an awfully 
  D      G
torrid time...
    B7          Em
her head keeps a heartbeat chime
                             C    
By night it's louder than it ever 
D     G
was before.
    B7       Em
And slowly it brings the dawn
       E                     C    
You'll find nervous laughter 
  D        G
lacing cheap refrain...
    B7           Em          
..."Why would you ever call me 
  Am
sane?"


[Pre-Chorus]
Am          C              Em
  Leave the flowers at the gates.
                       G           
If the rain fades your name, leave 
    Am        C
it to fate, to fate


[Chorus]
G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D

G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D          E



[Bridge]
Em                                
As the mourners come they're 
     D
hanging stale wreaths to make their 
peace
      Am                 C
Bells chime. Always they chime
           Bm             B7
Am I still on your mind, love?
Em                                
As the mourners come they're 
     D
hanging stale wreaths to make their 
peace
      Am                 C
Bells chime. Always they chime
           Bm             B7
Am I still on your mind, love?


[Pre-Chorus]
Am          C              Em
  Leave the flowers at the gates.
                       G           
If the rain fades your name, leave 
    Am        C
it to fate, to fate


[Chorus]
G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D

G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D

G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D

G               Am        C     
Wake me for the mourning
    D      E
