Bm
Ravished from our paradise

  Bm
A crack in the mirror

  D             Em
I know who's to blame

   Bm
So full of life but paralyzed

Bm
Etched on my iris

      D   Em     C    Asus2           ( C  C B B  D  D C# )
But I try not to think     of it all...

[VERSE 2]

   Bm
We swore to God in veritas

    Bm
And burned our skin 

        D          Em   C-5
like it burned our souls

    Bm
One dealt with grief by causing pain

    Bm
She hid behind maple

    D         Em  C  Asus2        ( C  C B B  D  D C# )
and built her own fortress of sound

[PRE-CHORUS 1]

Bm
Hear this melody almost forgotten

[CHORUS]

  Bm
  Hush, I've been waiting a lifetime to show you

                      D
  You're returning to heaven

       Em
  Like dust to dust

Bm
  I've been waiting forever to witness your fading

       D        C#m7-5/E  C
  Like ashes to a    -    shes.

[INTERLUDE 1] B * | | | D Em Csus4 | [VERSE 3]

   Bm
Forbidden dance on fragile skin

Bm                    D         Em   C
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain?

    Bm
The greatest scars remain within

Bm                     D          Em   C        Asus2  ( C  C B B  D  D C# )
Leaving you now with a heart black  as cardinal sin.

[PRE-CHORUS 2]

Bm
Fear this melody almost forgotten

[CHORUS]

  Bm
  Hush, I've been waiting a lifetime to show you

                      D
  You're returning to heaven

       Em
  Like dust to dust

Bm
  I've been waiting forever to witness your fading

       D        Cmaj7/E C
  Like ashes to a   -   shes.
