D7M B9 A E
I don't wanna feel no more
D7M B9 A E
It's easier to keep falling
D7M B9 A E
Imitations are pale
D7M B9 A
Emptiness all tomorrows
C#7 D7M B9
Haunted by your gho-ost
A E D7M B9
Lay down black gives way to blue
A E
Lay down I'll remember you
( D7M B9 A E )
( D7M B9 A C#7 )
D7M B9 A E
Fading out by design
D7M B9 A E
Consciously avoiding changes
D7M B9 A E
Curtains drawn now it's done
D7M B9 A
Silencing all tomorrows
C#7 D7M B9
Forcing a goodbye
A E D7M B9
Lay down black gives way to blue
A C#7 D
Lay down I'll remember you
