Elway - The Rest Is Posthumous Chords

[Intro]
E
 
then
G#m A E  x2
 
 
[Verse 1]
G#m                 A
   The line is gone dead the wind is
      E
gone still the trail is gone cold
G#m               A
   The walls came down the mind it
E
reels the heart is on hold
The rest is posthumous
 
 
[Verse 2]
  G#m
Deserted miles of wasted light
   A                     E
Distended by encroaching night
A ration for the wolves
  G#m
A monograph of mangled lies
  A
I swear I swear I swear
  E
I tried To spin this
straw back into gold
 
 
[Refrain 1]
    A
The worst intentions
    A
are buried between
    A
The needles I say and
    A         A
the daggers I mean
 
 
[Chorus 1]
E     B          C#m
  The end of the world passed
B         A      E   B
by with a whimper No blood
          C#m       B
from the stone each sin
       A
to the sinner I won’t
                   G#m A E G#m A E
be coming back for you
 
 
[Verse 3]
G#m
   I’m a shape drawn without a form
A
   I’m a shade with no color shown
E
   I’m surrounded and I’m so alone
A solitaire in crowded homes
G#m
   I speak the language
of the last year’s words
A
   I reap the whirlwind of
                 E
a heart unstirred The first
truth always so absurd
The hell it goes on undeterred
 
 
[Refrain 2]
    A
The best intentions
    A
are buried between
    A
The depth of my pride
         A         A
and the skin of my teeth
 
 
[Chorus 2]
E     B          C#m
  The end of the world passed
B         A      E   B
by with a whimper No blood
          C#m       B
from the stone each sin
       A
to the sinner I won’t
              A
be coming back I
won't be coming back
A
  I won't be coming
back for you
