[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]
n.c.           Em                      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

[BREAKDOWN]
     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

[FINAL CHORUS 1]
n.c.           Em                      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


[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
