Damocles

[Verse 1]
      F#maj7                     Bmaj7
Well, I've  been waking up under blades,
blue blossom days
        F#maj7                Bmaj7
If only Damocles would hit me back 
   F#maj7                Bmaj7
No alabaster carvings or faces on a farthing
         F#maj7                       Bmaj7
Would prevent  my head from fading to black

[Pre-Chorus]
                  F#maj7           Bmaj7
And it feels like falling into the sea  
           F#maj7              Bmaj7
From outer space in seconds to me
              D#m               Bmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat 
           C#             Bmaj7
Until they look like harmony   

[Chorus]
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C#
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
D#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  F#
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
F#
What if the diamond days are all gone
    C#
And who will I be when the empire falls?
                                 F#maj7 Bmaj7
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten    

[Verse 2]
F#maj7 Bmaj7
            Oh well,
  F#maj7
I know  I should be touring
  Bmaj7
I know these chords are boring
      F#maj7                      Bmaj7
But I can't always be killing the game 
   F#maj7                 Bmaj7
No golden grand pianos or voices from the shadows
        F#maj7                Bmaj7
Will do anythin' but feel the same 

[Pre-Chorus]
                  F#maj7           Bmaj7
And it feels like falling into the deep 
               F#maj7            Bmaj7
From somewhere way   up over the peaks
              D#m               Bmaj7
And I play discordant days on repeat 
          C#               Bmaj7
Until the tape runs out on me   

[Chorus]
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C#
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
D#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  F#
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
F#
What if the diamond days are all gone
    C#
And who will I be when the empire falls?
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten

[Bridge]
    B      D#m            F#            C#
And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
             B         C#                  G#m
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well,
B      D#m             F#         C#
nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
        B              C#
When it all looks like heaven,
       G#m
but it feels like hell

[Chorus]
         B
When the river runs dry and the curtain is called
C#
How will I know if I can't see the bottom?
D#m
Come up for air and choke on it all
                                  F#
No one else knows that I've got a problem
B
What if I can't get up and stand tall?
F#
What if the diamond days are all gone
    C#
And who will I be when the empire falls?
                                 F#maj7 Bmaj7 F#maj7 Bmaj7 D#m Bmaj7 C# Bmaj7
Wake up alone and I'll be forgotten    

[Outro]
F#maj7 Bmaj7 F#maj7 Bmaj7 F#maj7 Bmaj7 C# Bmaj7
