Chords

This is the original key from the TPE record. Notice that the singing melody doesn't fall on notes within the chords, which is unusual and can be hard to sing at first, but I guess it's a part of what makes this so beautiful. [Intro] Am - F X2 [Verse 1]
Am
For as long as I can remember

                 F
I have wanted to silence every beating heart,
Every sound of breathing.
Am
Now there is something inside of me

                     F
That aches as I hear you breathing here
When you sleep between these morning sheets
Am
I am the tears in your mouth

G
I am the weight on your shoulder

Am
I am the scream that wants out

G
And my heart just couldn't grow colder

Fmaj7
Now this rusty heart is my gift

Em7
This fallen love is my rift
Am - F X2 [Verse 2]
Am
Morning arrives on an Earth I've never seen before

F
Revealing a life that I never really understood

Am
Strange, the way beauty can hurt the opened eye

               F
Much more than all of the filth and pain
That we're soaked in ever could
Am
(I am the tears in your mouth)
How its hurting me
G
(I am the weight on your shoulder)
To suddenly see An (I am the scream that wants out) What I have become
G
(And my heart just couldn't grow colder)

                F
You must always be there
(Now this rusty heart is my gift)
        Em
We are still on the sidewalks
(This fallen love is my rift) [Chorus]
A9
Hear this voice,

             Amaj7
See this man standing before you

F#m              C#m                Dmaj7
I'm just a child trapped inside the body of a man
Am - F X2 Verse 3/Spoken word
Am
"An acquaintance so oddly old

F
Bred not to love
Suffers the beaten grounds of Idioglossia
Am
We talk but we do not speak

                     F
Together only in our incapability to leave this fallen playground

Am
We rule this Empire merely with these few crippled toys

G
Rust in our faces
This is what we can share
Am
This is all we can lose

       G
Still, furiously, we will linger to it with our lives

F
Cling to its rust and pains
Barefoot and torn
Em
Bred not but born to love."
[Chorus]
A9
Hear this voice,

             Amaj7
See this man standing before you

F#m              C#m                Dmaj7
I'm just a child trapped inside the body of a man X3
[Outro] Am - F X2
