[Verse]
                C          D      G
Take me back to nineteen - twenty-two.
B7                Em
Let echoes of the past bleed through
    E                         C     D       G
And find before your eyes, an ashen scene unfold
  B7               Em
A young girl who's all alone,
    E                    C        D         G
she cries, racing down a darkened street by night
    B7            Em
The flicker of an old gaslight.
      E                           C         D         G
Bells chime. Reminds her that the 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               Am        C
If the rain fades your name, leave it to fate, to fate


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


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


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


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


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


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