[VERSE 1]
Bm
Ravished from our paradise
Bm
A crack in the mirror
D Em
I know who's to blame
Bm
So full of life but paralyzed
Bm
Etched on my iris
D Em C Asus2 ( C C B B D D C# )
But I try not to think of it all...
[VERSE 2]
Bm
We swore to God in veritas
Bm
And burned our skin
D Em C-5
like it burned our souls
Bm
One dealt with grief by causing pain
Bm
She hid behind maple
D Em C Asus2 ( C C B B D D C# )
and built her own fortress of sound
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Bm
Hear this melody almost forgotten
[CHORUS]
Bm
Hush, I've been waiting a lifetime to show you
D
You're returning to heaven
Em
Like dust to dust
Bm
I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
D C#m7-5/E C
Like ashes to a - shes.

[VERSE 3]
Bm
Forbidden dance on fragile skin
Bm D Em C
Why do you shine as I suffer in pain?
Bm
The greatest scars remain within
Bm D Em C Asus2 ( C C B B D D C# )
Leaving you now with a heart black as cardinal sin.
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Bm
Fear this melody almost forgotten
[CHORUS]
Bm
Hush, I've been waiting a lifetime to show you

Like dust to dust

I've been waiting forever to witness your fading

Like ashes to a - shes.
