[VERSE 1]
Em C B Em C B
This city grieves like widows clasping folded flags against their hearts
Em C B G B7
Raindrops spill like dirt and roses on black coffins in the dark
Em C B Em C B
Not yet corpses, still we rot, oblivious to our decay
Em C B G B
Drinking poison drop by drop, destined to die
[CHORUS 1]
Em C
Unless we save our lives from the coming tide
G B
That seeks to drown us in its waves
Em C
But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold
G B
Then we'll rue each passing day
[VERSE 2]
Em C B
And I swear this place once was alive
Em C B
The streets, all pulsed like living veins
Em C B
Heart worth beating, coarse with blood
G B
The buildings breathe each time they sway
Em C B Em C B
The time of death, punctuated by the bells
Em C B G B
The sky turned red, then came the rain
[CHORUS 2]
Em C
n.c.
Come on, let's save our lives from the coming tide
G B
That seeks to drown us in its waves
Em C
But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold
G B
Then we'll rue each passing day

Em Bm C B Em
They drown, they'll crush you from the top
Bm C B Em Bm C B G B
I'd rather die, I would rather chase them down.
Em Bm C B Em Bm C B
These worlds are crashing forward, they try to set alight
Em Bm C B G B
Built our true fates while they drown
[BRIDGE]
C Bm G D/F# Em D C
Like fallen soldiers on these fields, we spared our lives
Bm G D/F# Em D C
Bodies hurled upon the wheels, I swear we tried
Bm G D/F# Em D C Bm Em
I came upon this godforsaken sight, and felt it all pass by

Come on, let's save our lives from the coming tide
G B
That seeks to drown us in its waves
Em C
But if we sell our soul for the chance of gold
G B
Then we'll rue each passing day
[FINAL CHORUS 2]
Em C
So save our... Our lives, it's coming clear
G B
Yeah, it's becoming clear to me
Em C
We'll never sell our soul for the chance of gold
G B
And we'll live each passing day
