Intro: E Ab A E B A
E                               Ab
I've been sleeping without memory
Ab                      
I think I'll lie a little longer
A                                E
Wait for the crowds to go
                   B            A               
Maybe I'll die in this unholy mass
                      E
And I'll be free
E                                      Ab
Yes that's what they say that I would be
Ab
When we came to watch the world be over
                                         A
But there's too many fools
                                   E
On this boat that made
     B                            A
I can hardly see the water
Chorus:
B
What's happened to me
                A
I was down on my knees
A
I was praying to leave
       E                                     B
But I never know when I've gone too far
B
This disaster in me
               A
What a beautiful dream
A
That told me I'd be cleaner
E                          B
Told me I'd be closer to God
Interlude: A E Ab A 
E
Oh, the birds of paradise
                           Ab
Came to me yesterday
Ab
Laughed when they told me my fate
                  A                                E
We'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathe
                                      B          A
And one day I'm gonna leave this place
Repeat Chorus
End: A  E  Ab  A  E  Ab  A  F#  E
