Key: D
Introduction: D
D G
Draw the shades and close my eyes
D
(Never wanna see again)
G
I found the cost of courage high
D
(Sometimes hard to pay)
G
I hear the song the sirens sing
D
(Calling on the shore for me)
G
So sell your soul and try to fly
F
(The tether still remains)
F Em D G
And all the finer things they laid upon my table
F D C D
Smile as their hooks were slowly sinkin' in
D G
Another pill I'm to consume
D
(To make me learn to feel again)
G
Is followed by another one
D
(To make me lose the same)
G
God if I could recognize
D
(The things that make me whole again)
G
And draw this air into my lungs
F
(Remember how to breathe)
F Em D G
For as the curtain rose I danced as I was able
F D C
Felt my deception slowly sinkin' in
D G
So I turn to you my love
D
(For the solace that is there)
G
The offer any cherished thing
D
(For a slight reprieve)
G
I hoped that you might find me here
D
(And I could learn to smile again)
G
And as a balm for these wounds
F
(Take away the sting)
F Em D G
And as the band did play your body I did cradle
F D C
I should have known that song would have to end
