Damocles Cifras

[Verse 1]
      E                           A
Well, I've been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
         E                     A
If only Damocles would hit me back
   E                       A
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
         E                            A
Would prevent my head from fading to black
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   B                A
And it feels like falling into the sea
             B                 A
From outer space in seconds to me
              G#m                A
And I play discordant days on repeat
            B         A
Until they look like harmony
 
[Chorus]
          A
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
 B
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                         E
No one else knows that I've got a problem
A
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
  E
What if the diamond days are all gone
    B
And who will I be when thе empire falls?
 
Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
        E
Well, I know I should be touring
    A
I know these chords are boring
       E                           A
But I can't always be killing the game
    E                      A
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
         E                     A
Will do anythin' but feel the same
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                   B                A
And it feels like falling into the deep
                B               A
From somewhere way up over the peaks
              G#m                A
And I play discordant days on repeat
           G#m              A
Until the tape runs out on me
 
[Chorus]
          A
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
 B
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
 
No one else knows that I've got a problem
A
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
  E
What if the diamond days are all gone
    B
And who will I be when thе empire falls?
                                   E
Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten
 
[Bridge]
     F#m    C#m            E             B
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
              A         B                    F#m
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
       F#m   C#m              E        B
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
        A               B               F#m
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell
 
[Chorus]
          A
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
 B
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
C#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
 
No one else knows that I've got a problem
A
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
  E
What if the diamond days are all gone
    B
And who will I be when thе empire falls?
                                   E
Wake up alonе and I'll be forgotten
