Verse (the following is Fig1, but I'm showing the chords to
depict the changes in relationship to the lyrics)
Fig 1> 2x
E
G D6 F#add4 Aadd2 E G D6 F#add4 Aadd2 E
wrap me up in always, and drag me in with maybes
G D6 F#add4 Aadd2 E
your innocence is treasure, your innocence is death
G D6 F#add4 Aadd2
your innocence is all I have
Bridge(the following is Fig3, but again I'm showing the chords to depict the changes in
relationship to the lyrics; the "breathing underwater" part is sustained longer)
(fig3 add Fig4)
B B G B (fig5 add Fig6)
Breathing underwater and living under glass
D6 Add2
and if you spin your love around
G B
the secrets of your dreams
D6 Aadd2
you may find your love is gone
G B
and is not quite what it seemed
D6 Aadd2
to appear to disappear
G B
beneath all your darkest fears
Chorus
|E G D |F# A |
|E G D |F# A |(add Fig 7)
G D F# A E G D F# A E
I believe in never, I believe in all the way
G D F# A E
but belief is not to notice, belief is just some faith
G D F# A
and faith can help you to escape
Interlude
Fig 8
and with this ring I wed thee true
Fig 9
and with this ring I wed thee now
Fig 9 A
and with this ring I play so dead
Bridge (add Fig 6)
B A B
but no one's asking for the truth, so let me tell you
D A
and if you spin your love around
G B
the secrets of your dreams
D A
you may find your love is gone
G B
and is not quite what it seemed
D A
to appear to disappear
G F#
beneath all your darkest fears
Interlude
Fig 10
Fig 11
to the revelations of freshed faces youth
no on will come to save you
so speak your peace in the murmers drawn
but youth is wasted on the young
Chorus
E G D F# A E
your strength is my weakness, your weakness my hate
G D F# A
my love for you just can't explain
E G D F# A E
why we're forever frozen forever beautiful
G D F# A
forever lost inside ourselves
