B
I used to see the future and now I see nothin'
B
They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin'
EEm
To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration
B
Cryin' like Cassandra, I
F#
Used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue
EEm
And left me doin' laundry to thinkin' what I've done
BC#mG#m
It wasn't me
F#E
It was the song
[Segunda Parte]
B5
I used to move into the future, bring it all back
B5
Let it bleed through my fingers, a treasure in my hands
B5
Now I creep out when there's no one about
B5
'Cause they put crosses on the doors to try and keep me out
BmA
With gardеns of the grove
E/G#G
And I run in the middlе of the road (Ooh)
[Chorus]
F#7Bm
Well, can you see me?
D
I cannot see you
G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
DF#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
Bm
Well, can you hear me?
D
I cannot hear you
G
Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to
DF#7Bm
And there's no one left to sing to
[Terceira Parte]
Bm
All the gods have been domesticated
Bm
And Heaven is now overrated
Bm
And the churches, they all closed their doors
Bm
Well, you can take your complaints straight to the Lord
Bm
I try to still look where they wander on the work
A
As the roses bloom
E/G#G
And the riot plants, they're plainly in view
[Chorus]
F#7Bm
Well, can you see me?
D
I cannot see you
G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
DF#7
In this blindness I'm condemned to
Bm
Well, can you hear me?
D
I cannot hear you
G
Every song I thought I knew, I've been deafened to
DF#7
And there's no one left to sing to
[Bridge]
Bm
Ooh
A
Ooh
E/G#GF#7
Ooh, oh
Bm
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Take me back)
A
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Oh, drunken gods of slaughter)
E/G#G
Ooh, ooh, ooh (You know, i've always been your Favourite daughter)
[Chorus]
F#7Bm
Well, can you see me?
D
I cannot see you
G
Everything I thought I knew has fallen out of view
Bm
And if I run fast enough
D
Could I break apart
GDF#7
As empires tumble and cathedrals flatten in my heart?
