[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
                      D
  You're returning to heaven
       Em
  Like dust to dust
Bm
  I've been waiting forever to witness your fading
       D        Cmaj7/E C
  Like ashes to a   -   shes.
