[Intro] Dm C Dm Bb Dm F Bb [Verse 1]
Dm               C
They were taking small pains

       F           Bb
To not make him realize

Dm                 F
Made him feel he's different

Bb
Through and through

  Dm             C
A monster in his own way

       F            Bb
Communicative quarantine

Dm               C               Bb
Unleashed on the world without a clue
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                Gm               Dm
Surrounded by the ghosts of paling pictures

     Eb   Dm        C    F
They come and slip away

Db
Vivid memories roll and spin

Eb
If only they would suck me in
[Chorus]
F
We're going up like fire in

         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream

                         Bb
And the memories and the embers

             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be

Breathing odour of lavender

             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me

       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't fail to say those

      Dm                   C
Words before you'd have to leave

Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
[Verse 2]
Dm               C
Here I stand and survey

         F             Bb
What the Father's cast my way

Dm               C             Bb
A wind got up to bode times of change

  Dm             C
I close the door behind me

         F                Bb
Know the day break is too far

Dm           C             Bb
Me and who I was, alone, estranged
[Pre-Chorus]
Eb                Gm             Dm
Surrounded by the scent invoking pictures

Gone and yet so clear

Db
Vivid memories roll and spin

Eb
If only they would suck me in
[Chorus]
F
We're going up like fire in

         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream

                         Bb
And the memories and the embers

             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be

          F
Breathing odour of lavender

             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me

       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't have to see now

          Dm            C
What back then I didn't see

Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
[Bridge]
    C     Dm         Bb        Dm           C             Bb
The crazy part ain't dreaming, wishing on a falling star

C        Dm                Bb        C        F
It's the world that's in between the cope and you

  C        Dm             Bb             C
I close my eyes and see a magic world in sepia

     C       Dm         Bb   C         F
That cast me out onto a road without a clue
N.C. We're going up like fire in N.C. Just the blink between the dream N.C. And the memories and the embers N.C. Of what we'd hoped it all would be [Outro]
F
We're going up like fire in

         C                 F
Just the blink between the dream

                         Bb
And the memories and the embers

             Dm                 C
Of what we'd hoped it all would be

          F
Breathing odour of lavender

             C                 Dm
And it's all coming back to me

       F                  Bb
Wish I didn't fail to say those

      Dm                   C
Words before you'd have to leave

Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves

Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves, oh

Bb
A soul, a storm, a journey across the waves
