verse 1 
Bm 
Ravished from our paradise 
  Bm 
A crack in the mirror 
  D             Em 
I know who's to blame 
   Bm 
So full of life but paralyzed 
Bm 
Etched on my iris 
      D   Em     C    Asus2           ( C  C B B  D  D C# ) 
But I try not to think     of it all... 


verse 2 
   Bm 
We swore to God in veritas 
    Bm 
And burned our skin  
        D          Em   C-5 
like it burned our souls 
    Bm 
One dealt with grief by causing pain 
    Bm 
She hid behind maple 
    D         Em  C  Asus2        ( C  C B B  D  D C# ) 
and built her own fortress of sound 


Pre-Chorus 1 
Bm 
Hear this melody almost forgotten 


Chorus 
  Bm 
  Hush, I've been waiting a lifetime to show you 
                      D 
  You're returning to heaven 
       Em 
  Like dust to dust 
Bm 
  I've been waiting forever to witness your fading 
       D        C#m7/5-/E  C 
  Like ashes to a    -    shes.

verse 3 
   Bm 
Forbidden dance on fragile skin 
Bm                    D         Em   C 
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain? 
    Bm 
The greatest scars remain within 
Bm                     D          Em   C        Asus2  ( C  C B B  D  D C# ) 
Leaving you now with a heart black  as cardinal sin. 


Pre-Chorus 2 
Bm 
Fear this melody almost forgotten

  Like dust to dust 
Bm 
  I've been waiting forever to witness your fading

  Like ashes to a   -   shes.
