Damocles

      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 


          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

         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 


          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 


     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 


          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
