Intro: D# A#m B C#
[D#] [A#m] [B] [C#]
Just about the time, your heart breaks like a wheel
[D#] [A#m] [B]
Not in a straight line, but all in pieces
[C#] [D#] [A#m] [C#]
Some you'll leave behind on a road you won't revise
[D#] [A#m]
No, you won't revisit that dirty compromise.
[B] [C#] [F#] [C#] [B]
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
[D#] [C#] [B]
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.
So look up, up ahead
The city lights are dancing for you
Or is it the aurora burning of the edges of the sky?
Don't cry, don't cry
That's all over now.
[B] [C#] [F#] [C#] [B]
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
[D#] [C#] [B]
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.
BRIDGE
[D#] [B]
Dry your wings in the sun
[C#] [F#]
You have only begun to understand
[D#] [B] [C#]
When it's time to move on there is no one
[F#] [C#]
To hold your hand.
[D#] [B] [D#] [C#]
So let go, let go, let go. Oo-OOo OO!!
Here the night is fine
The stars are sparks of steel
Chiseled in the mines of twilight
You tell me something real, say
"Don't try, don't try
Just remember how, remember, remember"
[B] [C#m] [F#] [C#] [B]
Now you only dream in peaceful blue
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
The morning doesn't even scare you anymore
[C#] [D#] [C#] [B]
You are a phoenix with your feathers still a little wet
[D#] [C#] [B]
Baby, the ashes just look pretty on your eyes.
