Intro Fm Ab Cm Bb 

Fm      Ab            Cm           Bb 
And the people went into their hideaways 
Fm                  Ab          Cm           Bb 
From the start they didn't know exactly why, why 
Fm              Ab             Cm          Bb 
Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike 
Fm             Ab                Cm            Bb 
Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky 


It was swift, it was just another wave of the miracles 
But no-one, nothing at all would go for the kill 
If they called on every soul in the land, on the moon 
Only then would they know a blessing in disguise 

The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore 
Their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before 
(x2) 

Tell me now of the very souls who look alike, look alike 
Do you know the stranglehold that's covering their eyes? 
If I call on every soul in the land, on the moon 
Tell me if I'll ever know a blessing in disguise 

The curse ruled from the underground, down by the shore 
Their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before 
(x2)
