[Intro]

C#m B E A
As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder

C#m B E G#m A
If I'm still alive, then I have to find the answer

C#m B E A
Could it be that it was a dream, and I'm still beside her?

C#m B G#m A
Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise, the water stops

[Verse 1]

C#m B A
Wickedness will rain, and drown us in her

Sorrow (and her thirst)

C#m B
If I hope to survive, I must think faster

G#m A
I'm losing ground

B
Should I pull back the veil?

[Chorus]

C#m G#m A
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)

All that glimmers is not gold

E B
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness

C#m G#m A
You had me convinced that together we could fly

E B
Until I started scratching at the surface

A
(And saw beyond your masquerade)

B
Your body is an illness

[Verse 2]

C#m B A
Temples crashing down all around me

Panic (chokes the streets)

C#m B
The golden city falls

G#m A
And with it our lives go up in flames

A B
Should I pull back the veil?
