Verse 
Am 
Close my weary eyes 
      F                 G               Am 
Under choking clouds of ash and darkest dust 

    Am 
The silver kiss of sleep is lost 
      F                 G             Am         G 
I can feel these broken cogs begin to rust 

Chorus 
             F           G                Am 
But when the end finally comes I won't despair 
          F              G               Am 
I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

Verse 
Am 
Try to keep a blank page 
          F             G                  Am 
But these memories they flood my mind with grief 

Am 
Faces lost forever 
        F                G              Am 
And the guilt of feeling some kind of relief 

Chorus 
             F           G                Am 
But when the end finally comes I won't despair 
          F              G               Am 
I'll just keep on hoping I might see you there

Interlude 
C                G             Am 
As this world of twisted metal falls 
      C               G                Am 
I can hear the demons tearing down the walls 
       C               G             Am 
In the face of so much hate and cruelty 
      F             G             Am 
In my mind's eye my angel's all I see
