  			Intro: (Em D C D Em D C Eb) 

      Em 
How happy is the human soul 
C 
Not enslaved by dull control 
Em 
Left to dream and roam and play 
C 
Shed the guild of former days 
Em 
Walking on the foggy shore 
C 
Watch the waves come rolling home 
Em 
Through the veil of pale moonlight 
       C 
My shadow stretches out its hands 
Em   D     G 
And so we lay 
  C                  Em 
We lay in the same grave 
   D           Em        D    A D 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em   D     G 
And so we lay 
   C                  Em 
We lay in the same grave 
     D           Em 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em D C D Em D C Eb 
Em                       C 
Floating in the endless blue 
   Em                        C 
My seed of doubt I leave to you 
Em 
Let in wither on the ground 
C 
Treat it like plague you found 
Em 
All my dreams that were outside 
   C 
In living colour, now alive 
D             C 
And all the lighthouses 
      D 
Their beams converge 
  C           D 
To guide me home 
Em   D       G 
And so we lay 
  C                 Em 
We lay in the same grave 
   D           Em     D    A D 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em   D     G 
And so we lay 
  C                 Em 
We lay in the same grave 
    D           Em 
Our chemical wedding day 
Am    Em    D    B4/7  B  Em 
Em  D       G 
And so we lay 
   C                    Em 
We lay in the same grave 
  D           Em       D    A D 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em   D      G 
And so we lay 
  C                   Em 
We lay in the same grave 
    D           Em 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em  D      G 
And so we lay

We lay in the same grave 
    D           Em      D    A D 
Our chemical wedding day 
Em  D      G 
And so we lay 
   C                Em 
We lay in the same grave 
   D           Em 
Our chemical wedding day
