C#m, A (x2)
[Verse] 
From the lC#make
Where I lost it Aall
Stacked on the stC#makes
Yet you blessed the fAall
I guess that I knC#mew I was warned
I left my wBords in the cold
The things that I bAuilt for myself
Castles are tC#mumbling down
Surrender the hBeir, savour the crown
Here lies where I drAown
[Pre-Chorus]
The fAirst time that I sought for grace
But not the lBast lung I'd put to waste
[Chorus]
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
[Bridge]
FC#mumbling through this jaded book
The hBearts I stole, the air I took
What lAove is this
And now the phC#motograph is all that's left
To fBeed the wolves and empty chests
To brAeak the best
[Pre-Chorus]
The fAirst time that I sought for grace
But not the lBast lung I'd put to waste
[Chorus]
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
I'm burning down the stC#ma____B_kes
Wash awAay, wash away
[Outro]
I never blAed for a thousand lies
Just to stem the flBow
I never wAept over a thousand lives
Just to let this gBo
I never blAed for a thousand lies
Just to stem the flBow
I never wAept over a thousand lives
Just to let this gBo
Wash awAay, wash awBay, wash awAay, wash awBay...

C#m, A (x2)

[Verse]

C#m

From the lake

Where I lost it all

C#m

Stacked on the stakes

Yet you blessed the fall

C#m

I guess that I knew I was warned

I left my words in the cold

The things that I built for myself

C#m

Castles are tumbling down

Surrender the heir, savour the crown

Here lies where I drown

[Pre-Chorus]

The first time that I sought for grace

But not the last lung I'd put to waste

[Chorus]

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

[Bridge]

C#m

Fumbling through this jaded book

The hearts I stole, the air I took

What love is this

C#m

And now the photograph is all that's left

To feed the wolves and empty chests

To break the best

[Pre-Chorus]

The first time that I sought for grace

But not the last lung I'd put to waste

[Chorus]

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

C#m B

I'm burning down the sta_____kes

Wash away, wash away

[Outro]

I never bled for a thousand lies

Just to stem the flow

I never wept over a thousand lives

Just to let this go

I never bled for a thousand lies

Just to stem the flow

I never wept over a thousand lives

Just to let this go

A B A B

Wash away, wash away, wash away, wash away...
