G
Am
C
The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
G
Am
C
The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups,
F
C
G
And I stopped believing in miracles a long, long time ago,
F
C
G
I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul,
Am
C
G
I worshiped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end,
Am
C
G
To where I just can't see the beautiful anymore
G
Am
C
The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun,
G
Am
C
The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods
F
C
G
And hurricanes with children's names write our history
F
C
G
Signatures tracked by satellites on high,
Am
C
G
We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously,
Am
C
More than stocks and shares and corporate wares,
G
We were blinded by the skeptics and their greed
Am
C
G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore;
Am
C
G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Am
C
G
I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over,
Am
C
G
There was nothing to say, words stole away, their meaning lost in the ether,
F
C
G
What there was left stopped making sense, a broken up alphabet, language dispersed
Am
C
G
I just can't hear the beautiful anymore
Solo/Instrumental
G
Am
C
The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear,
G
Am
C
The canyons burning, forests consumed by the flames,
F
C
G
Wildfires rage across the plains to be starved by barren soil,
F
C
G
Deserted farms where seeds refuse to grow,
Am
C
G
I close my eyes to cloudless skies I dream of what we had before,
Am
C
G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Am
C
G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
