Solace Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Draw the shades and
close my eye[G]s
(I never want to [D]see again)
I found the cost of courage
[G]high
(Sometimes hard [D]to pay)
I hear the song the Sirens [G]sing
(Calling on the shore [D]for me)
So sell your soul and try to [G]fly
(The tether [D]still [F]remains)

[Verse 2]
And [F]all the [Em]finer things they
[D]laid upon my [G]table
Smiled as their [F]hooks were slowly
[D]sinking [C]in

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Another pill I'm to con[G]sume
(To make me learn to [D]feel again)
Is followed by another [G]one
(To make me [D]loose the same)
God, if I could recog[G]nize
(The things to make me whole again)
[D]And draw this air into my
[G]lungs
(Remember how [D]to [F]breathe)

[Verse 4]
For [F]as the [Em]curtain rose I
[D]danced as I was [G]able
Felt my [F]deception slowly [D]sinking in
[C]And

[Verse 5]
[D][Am][D][F]
[C][D][F][C][D][F]
[Am][D][F][Am][F]
[D]so I turn to you,
my [G]love
(For the solace that is there)
[D]And offer any cherished thi[G]ng
(For a [D]slight reprieve)
I hoped that you might find me [G]here
(And I could learn to smile again)
[D]And as a balm for these [G]wounds
(Take away [D]the [F]sting)

[Verse 6]
And [F]as the [Em]band did play
your [D]body I did [G]cradle
I should have [F]known that
song would [D]have to [C]end

[Outro 1]
[D][F]
