[B5][C][G][C][E][F][F5][G#][G#m][B5]

[Verse 1]
It [A5]all seems[Am] to get stranger,
[C]The mor[B5]e I live on,[Dm]
[C5]Under the [C]"dead hand of the [Dm]pas t",
Where have all my days [Am]gone?
[B5]The hard[A5]est part[Am] of letting go,
[C]Is not [B5]having to say goodbye,
[Dm]It's en[C5]during [C]the years there[C5]after[C] ,[Dm]
[E]That be[F]come [F5]a life[F] ti[Dm]me.[E][B5]
[Am][A5][Am][A5][B5][C][C5][C][F][C]
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
In my [Am]own private hell:
[B5]To innocence;farew[E]ell...
[C]Is Hedonism all that remains?
[Dm][F][Am][G#5]

[Verse 3]
[G#m]Collec[B5]t all no[A5]
[Am]tions of mysticis[C]m,
[B5]And commit them to [Dm]the flames,
[C]It's all [C5]a joke like the [C]mor
als [Dm]you invoke,
And there are no rules in this [G#5]game,
[G#m][B5]
[Am]But I would rather this private hell,
Than [C]the etern[B5] al realm of lies,
[Dm]Aban[C5] don pu e[C]ril[Am]e thoughts you [Dm]must,
Oh, [F]it [F5]was a[F]ll s[Am]uper[G#5]flu ou[Am]s...[E]
[Am][B5][C5][C][C5]

[Verse 4]
[Dm]In my
[Am]own private
[E]hel[B5]l:[E][B5][C]
Although still [Dm]veridical,
[E]if nothing [A5]else.[Am]
[E]

[Verse 5]
[F]
Staring deep in the [Dm]void,
It has [F]nothing to say.

[Verse 6]
So what [Am]more can one say,
[C]To escap[B5]e from the cli[Dm]ché?
We [C]have all [C5]been betra[Dm]yed by,
Our own naïveté,
In this [Am]epoch [C]of indifference,
[B5]Purpose is washed [C]away;
Countless mo[Am]ments now lost [Dm]in time,
[E]Like [F]tears in the rain.
