 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.

 Like ashes to a - shes.
