You grew wings on your heart

But you let it out your ribcage

And it flew into the dark

Em
D
Dsus4
D
Like a ghost, just like a ghost
Cadd9
Em
And it flutters by my window
Bm
D
When I need my sleep the most
Cadd9
D
So choose my weapon and choose my way
G
Em
It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
Cadd9
D
I'm thinking about it every day
G

And starting to notice you're fading away

You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow

As I stop to watch you dance
Bm
D
With your hips swinging, your snake hips swinging Got your hips swinging, your snake hips swinging Got your hips swinging, your snake hips swinging again
Hips swinging, your snake hips swinging Got your hips swinging, your snake hips swinging Got your hips swinging, your snake hips swinging Again and again and again and again
Cadd9

So choose my weapon and choose my way
G

It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say
Cadd9
D
I'm thinking about you every day
G

And starting to notice
Cadd9
D
That it's two steps forward and one step back
G
Em
Make up in love for what you think I lack
Cadd9
D
You've got a vampire on your neck
G
Em
Everybody knows what happens next
Cadd9
D
You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
G
Em
Fade like a shadow, fade
Cadd9
D

You fade like a shadow, fade like a shadow
Cadd9

So choose my weapon and choose my way

It's easy sayin' nothing when there's nothing to say

Feel It All

Am
Fmaj7
C
G
Am
I'm growing like a seed
Fmaj7
Rains been falling on me
C
I've been covered in cold
G
I've been shrouded and downed
My heart is on a wire Sailing pretty like a bird But the hunter is out And the eagle is hurt, the word
F
Am
G
That I feel, feel it all
F
Am
G
Yes, I can feel, feel it all
I'm looking to the sky And I'll be listening to the stars And maybe thinking of you And wondering where you are Do you know what you've done for me? You made my branches grow Now they can play with the wind And they can carry the snow
F
Am
G
And they can feel, feel it all
F
Am
G
Yes, they can feel, feel it all
Instrumental verse
So take what you want Leave what you don't need And I'll go looking for you You keep your eye out for me 'Cause our heart is on a wire Sitting pretty like a bird But the hunter is hunting And the eagle is us
F
Am
G
And we can feel, feel it all
F
Am
G
Yes, we can feel, feel it all
F
Am
G
Oh, we can feel it all
F
Am
G
Yes, we can feel it all
F
Am
Feel, feel, feel it all
G
Feel, feel it all
F
Am
G
Feel, feel, feel it all
F
Am
And we can feel, feel, feel it all
G
Feel, feel it all
F

G
And we can feel, feel, feel it all

Takes part of you

I know you could be

So much more than this

And life could be bliss

And I, I try to hold you up
F
And I'll never let you down
C
And I do my best

When I try to hold you up

And I never let you down

You let yourself down

Invisible Empire

C
G
I thought the candle was gonna go out
Am
F
The wind was blowing and the door was open
C
G
F
But the candle never went out, never went out
The wave found its way to the shore I thought it was a ripple and nothing more But the wave found its way all the way to the shore
G

Oh-oh, I wanna burn this house

I know I wanna jump into the fire
G

Am
Oh-oh, I've got to tear them down
F
G
C
The pinnacles of my invisible empire
I know the gamble never works twice All the distractions at the table and the weighted dice But the thrill of it feels so nice, you'd do it all again But I look to the chips I'd lose I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose And I know it's not my time, not my time Oh-oh, I wanna burn this house I know I wanna jump into the fire Oh-oh, I've got to tear them down The pinnacles of my invisible empire
Am
And if I do all the things I do
G
Well, I tell myself that I'm staying true
F
No, I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop
Am
No, I'll never think about it
Put an end to all this time That I would spend with it on my mind You know it never stopped, you know it never stopped You know I always wondered about it
G
I wondered about the wonder
Oh-oh I wear a rusting crown I know this dynasty is falling The crowd shouts for another round
F
I see the ruin
G
F
G
The spectacular, diamonds buried, icebergs
F
G
The minarets, and marketplaces
F
G
C
And signal fires of my invisible empire
