[Intro]
C# E B F#


[Verse]
        C#
I don’t know why I believe
         E
That the world without a man
B
Would still have the look
F#
  Of being looked at

   C#
If all the ground is flesh
    E
And ocean is your blood
  B
I always knew you
            F#
But I don’t think I understood


[Pre-Chorus]
G#m        B
    I’m a landlocked conch shell
D#m              F#
    Carrying the sound of the waves,
G#m           B          D#m
   I hear the ocean in myself
         F#
   But I can’t reach the place
G#m                   B
   That always led me on
D#m                  F#
   For proof of the dawn
G#m               B
   I could never find
D#m           F#
   During the night

F# F# F#


[Chorus]
C#/G#   G#m      F#         D#m
I       die   to find  your face
C#/G#   G#m      F#         D#m
I      try   to defy  your grace
    C#        B/G#
The higher the climb
    D#m        F#
The higher the ledge
    C#         B/G#
The more     I give
    D#m         C#
The sweeter the death

C#


[Interlude]
(Repeat intro riff)

C# E B F#


[Verse]
C#
  What if I told you
    E
The same Lazarus
B
Christ resurrected
    F#
Had died again?
      C#
Would being here at all
           E
Be all you needed all along
   B
Or would you still require
     F#
Some greater miracle?


[Pre-Chorus]
G#m          B                 D#m
    So now I know the price of love:
  F#
A descending dove
G#m             B          D#m
    That always leads to a death
   F#
To reveal life to live
G#m                           B
    But brings me back to the thought
D#m                         F#
Of if I’ll be caught when I fall
         G#m       B
Of if my wonder outweighs
   D#m                 F#
My desire to escape my pain

F#


[Chorus]
C#/G#   G#m      F#         D#m
I       die   to find  your face
C#/G#   G#m      F#         D#m
I       try   to defy  your grace
    C#         B/G#
The higher the climb
    D#m        F#
The higher the ledge
    C#         B/G#
The more     I give
    D#m         F#
The sweeter the death

F#


[Outro]
