Verse 1:
      Gbmaj7                     Bmaj7
Well, I've  been waking up under blades, blue blossom days
        Gbmaj7                Bmaj7
If only Damocles would hit me back
   Gbmaj7                Bmaj7
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
         Gbmaj7                       Bmaj7
Would prevent  my head from fading to black

Pre-chorus:
                  Gbmaj7           Bmaj7
And it feels like falling into the sea 
           Gbmaj7              Bmaj7
From outer space in seconds to me
              Ebm               Bmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat
           Db             Bmaj7
Until they look like harmony  

Chorus:
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
Db
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Ebm
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  Gb
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Gb
What if the diamond days are all gone
    Db
And who will I be when the empire falls?
                                 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten   

Verse 2:
Gbmaj7 Bmaj7           Gbmaj7
            Oh well, I know  I should be touring
  Bmaj7
I know these chords are boring
      Gbmaj7                      Bmaj7
But I can't always be killing the game
   Gbmaj7                 Bmaj7
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
        Gbmaj7                Bmaj7
Will do anythin' but feel the same

Pre-chorus:
                  Gbmaj7           Bmaj7
And it feels like falling into the deep
               Gbmaj7            Bmaj7
From somewhere way   up over the peaks
              Ebm               Bmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat
          Db               Bmaj7
Until the tape runs out on me  

Chorus:
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
Db
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Ebm
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  Gb
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Gb
What if the diamond days are all gone
    Db
And who will I be when the empire falls?

Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

Bridge:
    B      Ebm            Gb            Db
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
             B         Db                  Abm
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
      B      Ebm             Gb         Db
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
        B              Db             Abm
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell

Chorus:
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
Db
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
Ebm
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  Gb
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
Gb
What if the diamond days are all gone
    Db
And who will I be when the empire falls?
                                 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Gbmaj7 Bmaj7 Ebm Bmaj7 Db Bmaj7
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten
