[Intro]
Fm Ab Cm Bb
[Verse 1]
FmAnd the Abpeople went inCmto their hideBbaways
FmFrom the start they Abdidn't know Cmexactly why, Bbwhy
FmWinter came and Abmade it so all Cmlook alike, Bblook alike
FmUnderneath the Abgrass would grow, Cmaiming at the Bbsky
(same chords progression)
It was swift, it was just another wave of the miracles
But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise
[Chorus]
(same chords progression)
The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
Their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
(x2)
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Tell me now of the very souls who look alike, look alike
Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon
Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise
[Chorus]
(same chords progression)
The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore
Their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
(x2)
