Tuning: Standard EADGBE
[Intro]
 C   Am   Em   Gx2
CI sold my soul for diamonds
AmAnd reason for acclaim
EmBeen begging for white angels
GTo blow my mind away
CBeen growing funny flowers
AmWhere roses never grew
EmI stayed awake all night
GWhen I woke up from dreams
Of me and you
DmI tried to take the sun and EmI went Fblind
DmGod help me to erase you froEmm my FmindG  
I'm growing Fcold
And the night is yet to come
Anyone tell me is Cthis
[Chorus]
The way it's meant to Gbe
Lost and isoAmlated
IG'm way toFo complicated
For yGou to leCan on me
I plGay a losing game
I crDmied in desperation
MentaEml devasFtation
I'm Cblowing Gout the flame
CSelf-pity gave me shelter
AmI always hid away in vice
EmDyslexic, torn and tattered
GI tried to read the signsF  
CYou never tried to take a look
AmAt the one I'd have died to be
EmNow it sGeems you don't see me at all
DmWas it all worth it
ViEmsioFns holding sway
DmWhen the reEmal thing Fgot loGst along the way
Yes aFnyone telCl me is this
[Chorus]

Blowing Out The Flame

Angel Of Babylon (2010)

Tuning: Standard EADGBE

[Intro]

C Am Em G

I sold my soul for diamonds

And reason for acclaim

Been begging for white angels

To blow my mind away

Been growing funny flowers

Where roses never grew

I stayed awake all night

When I woke up from dreams

Of me and you

Dm Em F

I tried to take the sun and I went blind

Dm Em F G

God help me to erase you from my mind

I'm growing cold

And the night is yet to come

Anyone tell me is this

[Chorus]

The way it's meant to be

Lost and isolated

G F

I'm way too complicated

G C

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Em F

Mental devastation

C G

I'm blowing out the flame

Self-pity gave me shelter

I always hid away in vice

Dyslexic, torn and tattered

G F

I tried to read the signs

You never tried to take a look

At the one I'd have died to be

Em G

Now it seems you don't see me at all

Was it all worth it

Em F

Visions holding sway

Dm Em F G

When the real thing got lost along the way

F C

Yes anyone tell me is this

[Chorus]

The way it's meant to be

Lost and isolated

G F

I'm way too complicated

G C

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Em F

Mental devastation

C G#

I'm blowing out the flame

[Solo]

A# C Dm Am C

A# C Dm Gm Am

Yes anyone tell me is this

[Chorus]

The way it's meant to be

Lost and isolated

For you to lean on me

I play a losing game

I cried in desperation

Mental devastation

I'm blowing out the flame
