[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][F][C][Am][Em]
[G][F][Am]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
[F]This is the castle that you've [Am]built
Falling into a phrase of [Em]guilt
Keeping rhythm with it always
[G]Sway[Em] ing[Dsus4] the beat
of your [Dm]heartache
[F]This is the key to the door you [Am]closed
Bury yourself with a string you [Em]hold
Carrying time with an end of [Dm]scene
The [Dsus4]curtain will close as you d[Dm]ie unseen
[Am]What[C] cap[Am]tures
[C]you?[Am][C][Am]
What's seeping [C]through?[Am]
What captures [C]you?[Am]
What's seeping [C]through?
And how did it come to [Em]this
The gamelan's on the cruise [Am]ship
Watching it slip through your [G]hands
Legacy lost in [C]the sand
And how did it come to [Em]this
The gamelan's on the cruise [Am]ship
Watching your life on the [G]stage
Legacy burned on the [F]page[C][F][Am][Em][G]
[F]This is the light that you
burned out [Am]of
Long before you had a chance to become
[Em]A figure that echoes in melodies
[Dm]A fi[Dsus4]gure that burns in your memo[Dm]ry
[F]This is the line that you wrote in your will
[Am]Dripping in poison, lousy will
[Em]Severing bones in the hall[G]way
[Dsus4]Losing yourself as you fa[Dm]ll in
[C]To [Am]the f[C]ire, to the fire[Am]
What captures you?
[C]What burns [Am]you?
What's deepening through?
[C]To the fire, the [Am]fire
What captures you?
[C]What burns you[Am]?
What's deepening [C]through?
And how did it come to [Em]this?
A gamelan's on a blue [Am]shell
Watching it slip through your [G]hands
Legacy lost in the [C]sand
How did it come to [Em]this?
A gamelan's on a blue [Am]shell
Watching your life on the [G]stage
Legacy burned on the [F]page
[C]Cut[F]ting smi[C]les, hal[Am]f laughs
Burning through my [Em]skin
and through my freckles
As the [D]time [Dm]passes[Dsus2][Em][Dm]
[F]Glass as [C]my lip[F]s,
like the [Am]softest, sweetest [Em]kiss[Am]
[Em]It's a bittersweet reminder,
of all the [Dm]life I've lived with my hair
[F]I'll take it to bed, if it keeps me warm
[Am]I'll swim till I'm dead,
and I'll swim no more
[Em]I'll take it to bed, if it keeps me warm
[G]I'll [D]swim til[Dm]l I'm dea[Em]d,
[Dm]and I'll swim no more[G][F]
I'll see where it ends,
[Am]and I'll see the shore
[Em]I'll see where it ends
[Dm]And I'll see n[Em]o more
[G][F]
