C#m
As the flags fall down

     G#m
The statues crack and drown

A                         E
 We clap for a crumbling state

Am7                           E
 Inventing rules which we can break

            B7
But take no blame
[Verse 2]
C#m              G#m
 We enter a night of nothingness

A                      E
 Even your shadow disappears

Am7                  E
 Reality becomes an apology

           B7
And waking up the catastrophe
[Chorus]
E                         B
 Sail into the abyss with me

C#m                       G#
 After ending and after belief

A                         E
 After tomorrow after the flood

      B
After ending from below and above
[Verse 3]
C#m            G#m
 Progress is a comfortable disease

A                            E
 That brought us down to our knees

Am7                         E
 Not to pray but to cry and wish

               B7
While painting portraits of our loneliness
[Chorus]
E                         B
 Sail into the abyss with me

C#m                       G#
 After ending and after belief

A                         E
 After tomorrow after the flood

      B
After ending from below and above

E                                    B
 And the tattoo that runs down your spine

C#m                            G#
 Is a secret message for us to find

A                        E
 Trojan horses and straw dogs

         B
The near future has been and gone
[Interlude]
A               A
La la la la la, la la la la la

E               E
La la la la la, la la la la la

A               A
La la la la la, la la la la la

B               B
La la la la la, la
[Chorus]
E                         B
 Sail into the abyss with me

C#m                       G#
 After ending and after belief

A                         E
 After tomorrow after the flood

      B
After ending from below and above

E                                    B
 And the tattoo that runs down your spine

C#m                            G#
 Is a secret message for us to find

A                        E
 Trojan horses and straw dogs

         B
The near future has been and gone
