Chords

[Intro]
C#    F#        E            F#             C#
Floating in the clouds, I'm giving up the fight

  F#         E               F#
A voice is calling out, I'm walking into the light
C# [Verse]
C#                                         G#
We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast

C#                                    G#
Feet, they barely even touched the ground

C#                                        B
We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world

    A#m           C#   G#
The fury and the sun

C#                            G#
I saw it flicker like a television set

C#                           G#
Bright flashes of a warning sign

C#
Flipping channels in a world gone static

B            A#m                C#  G#
Eroding away line by the fading line
[Pre-chorus]
                 B       F#
Under water for years we found

                   C#       G#
So much harder to swim than drown

            B                    F#
The current takes us, now we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
C#       F#            E     F#
Are you dying all your life?

 C#      F#
Broken, beat, and tired out

 E            B
You want to live but don't know how

 C#  F#           E  F#
Diagnosis: sudden life

E
Can no one revive me now?

 F#
Feels like I'm walking into the light
C# [Verse]
C#                                 G#
Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound

C#                            G#
Tunnel vision and a great beyond

C#
Heart beating like a rhythm slowing

B                        A#m       C#
Down till it's gone, an echo of a song
[Pre-chorus]
G#              B        F#                C#     G#
Flat line and a closing bell, whisper a warm farewell

    B                              F#
The flames are beckoning as we're walking into the light
[Chorus]
 C#       F#            E     F#
Are you dying all your life?

 C#      F#
Broken, beat, and tired out

 E            B
You want to live but don't know how

 C#  F#           E  F#
Diagnosis: sudden life

A
Can no one revive me now?

B
Feels like I'm walking into the light
C# B E F# C# B E F# [Bridge]
C#      B               E       F#
Don't suppose that you know the way?

C#      B               E    F#
Don't suppose that you care?

C#      B          E         F#
I see lights up ahead and hear cries of

C#  B    E         F#
Angels ring in my ears

         A
But you know that had you a choice

             B
You would go back and do it again

   A                               B
We all have unfinished business to tend

C#  F#           E      F#             C#
So no I won't go gentle into the good night

F#                E
You can keep your candle

    F#                    C#
I'm walking away from the light

         F#                    E
Yeah I'm walking away from the light

     F#                   C#
I'm walking away from the light

     F#                    E
I'm walking away from the light

     F#
I'm walking away from the light
[Chorus]
C#     F#          E  F#
Diagnosis: sudden life

C#         F#
I woke up my heart racing, I'm

E     B
At a loss explaining why

C#        F#            E  F#
Are you dying all your life?

A
Then put your darkest days behind

B
Let life flash right before your eyes

A
And for very the first time

B
It feels like I'm walking away from the light
