Intro: Gm  F  Em  Dm 

verse 1 
  C                      Csus4 C 
Between last breaths and first regrets 
    C                    Csus4   C 
The days dragged on like cigarettes 
       C                    Csus4  C 
In the distance martyrs and martinets 
Gm     F                Em         Dm 
Dally, dancing with the empty silhouettes of threats 

verse 2 
    C                Csus4  C 
So, where but heaven does love end 
    C                   Csus4  C 
And where on earth does it begin 
     C               Csus4  C     Gm 
It's not the kind of love that is pinned 
       F        Em              G 
Like a medal or presses pennies in a tin 

 
F              G               F             C 
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith 
F           C 
Love like a wraith 
Dm            G 
Never made me afraid 
Fm                        C 
Consoled as I was by that shade 

Post-Chorus 
F            C     G      C 
Here lie the roses in the ashes 
F           C    G         C 
Deep as the barnacles that cling 
F           C         G            C    Dm      G 
Just like a lace that runs through everyone and everything 

verse 3 
C             Csus4   C 
In that other still forever 
C              Csus4    C 
In that time before the past 
  C                Csus4 C 
I told myself we'd be together 
Gm      F               Em          G 
Can you promise me that it will be eternally? 

 
F              G               F             C 
There is hope, and after that, there is only faith 
F           C 
Love like a wraith 
Dm            G 
Never made me afraid 
Fm 
Consoled as I was 

Outro 
N.C. 
Consoled as I was 
   F                      C    F   C 
Consoled as I was by that shade
