Faint

     Em              Cm        C  A Am  G    F#
The very brightest candle of all has been extinguished
     Em                      Cm          C      A   Am G F#
Smothered by those who could not bear to face reality

       Em            D             Cm           G
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
      Am            Em
Made foundations quiver
       Em           D              Cm               G
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
    F#     E
And I shiver...

     Em              Cm            C
The leftover tallow just doesn?t contain
A  Am  G      F#
All the right answers
Em                   Cm    C    A   Am  G   F#
Under a sea of dust lies a vast wealth of wisdom

       Em            D              Cm           G
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart
       Am           Em
Made foundations quiver
       Em           D              Cm               G
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
    F#   Em
And I shiver...

      Em              D             Cm
This black page in history is not colourfast,
      G
Will stain the next
     F               B               Bbm          F#
All that remains is just a feint of what was meant to be
      Em             D              Cm
This black page in history is not colourfast,
       G
Will stain the next
     F              B
And nothing seems in life,
                Bbm             F#
In dreams like what was meant to be

       Em            D              Cm           G
Every beat of your heart tore the lies all apart

       Em           D              Cm               G
Every wave in the lake caused the porcelain to break
