In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?


[Bridge] 
    
(This next G sounds really good if you barre it like you would an F. Just make an barred F relative to capo 8
and then slide it up 2 steps. Voila, same chord!)

         G                D 
Should I tear my eyes out now?
     G       C     G                  D 
Everything I see returns to you somehow.
         G                 D
Should I tear my heart out now?
     G       C      G                D       
Everything I feel returns to you somehow.

Faith in reason, I've wasted my life playing dumb.

Signs and Wonders: Sea Lion caves in the dark.
Em           G             A             Am            D
Blind faith, God's Grace, nothing else left to impart.


[Chorus 3]

     Em            G         C                              D

Everything I feel returns to you somehow.
