[Verse 1]
B A D B
I'm living in the mouth of the lion
A D B
I'm in the hollowest bone
A D E
In the desert of a thousand queens
A B
I've never felt so alone
[Verse 2]
A D B
Too high are the heavens
A D B
Too hot is the sea
A D
I'm on the shore of a hungry dream
E
Looking at a mystery
[Chorus]
F#m A
Standing in a field of ruins
F#m A
I kind of like the way it feels
Bm E
In the dust of an ancient empire
D A
Life is like a spinning wheel
F#m A
I can see the future coming
F#m A
And baby I can hear it hum
Bm E
Standing on the death of yesterday
D E
Just as tomorrow comes

I-I-I-I don't know what to cry or do

Tell my why does my body conceal my heart
Until I disappear
[Chorus]

And baby I can hear it hum

Standing on the death of yesterday

Just as tomorrow comes
