[VERSE 1]
Em |Am |
And I cry-y and no one can
Em |Am |
hear. Inha........le, the blinded eyes that
Em |Am |
see the cha.......os bring the pitiful to
Em |Am C |
me. Even though I'm wide awake, I... ... ...
Em |Am D |
will in blackest night. And, I wait for you. It’s
Em D/F# |Am D |
cold in here, there's no one left and I wait for you. And
C Em |Am D |
nothing stops it happening and I... ... ... knew. I’d
C Em |F C |E A |
cherish all my misery a...lone. (*Riff 1)
[CHORUS]
|-(G Riff)--|--------------(Riff 1)------------|
|G //////// |F C |E A |
(And I) wait... staring at the northern star
|G //////// |F C |E A |
(I'm a-)-fraid... it won't lead me a.....nywhere
|G //////// |F C |E A |
(He's so) cold... he will ruin the world tonight
|G //////// |F C |E A |
(All the) angels... kneel into the northern lights,
|G //////// |F C |E A |
kneel into the frozen lights.

[VERSE 2]
Em |Am |
And they paid, I cry and cry for
Em |Am |
you. Ghosts that haunt you with their sorrow I cried 'cause you were
Em |Am |
doomed. Praying to the wound that swallows all that's cold and
Em |Am C |
cruel. Can you see the tree.....s, cha........rity
Em |
and gratitude? They
Am D |
run to the pines. It’s
Em D/F# |
black in here, blot out the sun and
Am D |
run to the pines. Our
C Em |
misery runs wild and free. And,
Am D |
I... ... ... knew the
C Em |(Riff 1)*
fire and the ashes of his graves.
[CHORUS]
|F C |E A |(Riff 1)*
(graves) And I..
|G (riff) |F C |E A |(Riff 1)

afraid........ it won't lead you very far. He’s so
|G (riff) |F C |E A |(Riff 1)
cold......... he will win the world tonight. All the
|G (riff) |F C |E A |(Riff 1)
angels....... kneelin to the frozen lights.
|G (riff) |F C |E
|(Riff 1)
Feel their hearts, they're cold and white.
