  			G 
sun at its meridian 
Bb 
when the walls start caving in 
   C                   Eb 
i do this every day 

G 
i can smell the smoke and ash 
Bb 
i can hear the columns crash 
      C                       Eb 
but i canâ??t look away 


Pre-Chorus 
Bb                                  C              Bb            C     Eb 
ask me what it looked like, say you want to know what it looked like 


G 
i turn to salt, i canâ??t not turn 
            Am                   F 
my eyes to see, our city burn 
G 
i fall on my, own bayonette 
     Am                                             F 
ill pull out all my stitches without a cone around my neck 
       Bb     B   Am C         G 
Itâ??s my fault, watch me turn to salt 


verse 2 
was it out of mourning? 
or did i miss the warnings? 
either could be true 

call it curiosity 
i think it's humanity 
and i canâ??t find it in you

Chorus 

BRIDGE 
Em 
leave me here in my dumb reminiscence 
G 
you and your sons are safe in the distance 
Em                                                      G 
i hope the halo on your head weighs a ton 
Em                                              G 
so run away, cut the cord, keep ignoring the ignored 
           C                              Cm 
turn away from me with perfect symmetry and run
