[Intro]
C#m B E A
As the water drips from the sky, I start to wonder
C#m B E G#m A
If I'm still alive, then I have to find the answer
C#m B E A
Could it be that it was a dream, and I'm still beside her?
C#m B G#m A
Right before my eyes, a tragic surprise, the water stops
[Verse 1]
C#m B A
Wickedness will rain, and drown us in her
Sorrow (and her thirst)
C#m B
If I hope to survive, I must think faster
G#m A
I'm losing ground
B
Should I pull back the veil?
[Chorus]
C#m G#m A
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)
All that glimmers is not gold
E B
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C#m G#m A
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E B
Until I started scratching at the surface
A
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
B
Your body is an illness
[Verse 2]
C#m B A
Temples crashing down all around me
Panic (chokes the streets)
C#m B
The golden city falls
G#m A
And with it our lives go up in flames
A B
Should I pull back the veil?
[Chorus]
C#m G#m A
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)
All that glimmers is not gold
E B
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C#m G#m A
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E B
Until I started scratching at the surface
A
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
B
Your body is an illness
[Bridge]
C#m
All shall be made clear
B E
{We've been watching you wander}
My blood runs cold
C#m B E G#m A
{There's no need to run farther}
I fear I know the truth
C#m B A E F#m
{Come into our arms, brother}
(I tear back the cowl and stare into my own eyes)
C#m B E
{Now we can be one forever}
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
Yeah!
C#m G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
C#m G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
A B
C#m G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
C#m G#
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

C#m B
C#m B
[Chorus]
A B
I pull back the veil
C#m G#m A
You had the best of me (now taste the worst)
All that glimmers is not gold
E B
I may be wrong but your brilliance is my darkness
C#m G#m A
You had me convinced that together we could fly
E B
Until I started scratching at the surface
A
(And saw beyond your masquerade)
B
Your body is an illness
A
(And I'm sickened by the thought of you!)
B A
I may never be the same again
B C#m
F#m A
(I may never be the same again)
