Introduction:

           Em                           C                             Am   G       F# 
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
           Em                                           C                                     Am  G  F# 
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality
               Em                       D                         Bm                     Em 
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
             C                       G 
Made foundations quiver
               Em                     D                           Bm                             C 
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
         G         Em 
And I shiver...
           Em                           C 
The leftover tallow just doesn't contain
     Am         G           F# 
All the right answers
 Em                                     C                                       Am   G     F# 
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom
               Em                       D                           Bm                     Em 
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
               C                     G 
Made foundations quiver
               Em                     D                           Bm                             C 
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
         G     Em 
And I shiver...
             Em                                                     C 
This black page in history is not colourfast,
Will stain the next
           Am                                                             Em                           B 
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
             Em                                                     C 
This black page in history is not colourfast,
Will stain the next
           Am 
And nothing seems in life,
                                 Em                             B 
In dreams like what was meant to be
               Em                       D                           Bm                     Em 
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
               C                     G 
Made foundations quiver
               Em                     D                           Bm                             C 
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
         G     Em 
And I shiver...
