A#maj7
At twenty-four
         C6
I fell into the trapdoor
         Am
Threw a man overboard
      Dm
As I swam for the shore
A#maj7
At twenty-five
           C6
I noticed red in my skies
       Am
Made a bed for his lies
        Dm
In the whites of my eyes

A#maj7
I was naive
        C6
It got harder to breathe
         Am
Still, I don't let 'em see
              Dm
That there's blood on my knees
A#maj7
All that I want
       C6
Is to hear that one song
          Am
When the noises are gone
         Dm
I'll be singing along

Chorus:
A#
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Gm                                    Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
          C
It never really ends
A#
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Gm                                    Dm
Play it again and again until I find rapture
           C
Until the bitter end

At twenty-nine
I didn't see all the signs
So I hung on the line
'Til I lost my spine
I prayed to God
I could curb the black dog
Oh, the days are so long
With the oxygen gone

Chorus:
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end

A#maj7
Guess what I learned
             C6
From every bridge that I burned
           Am
That your love should be earned
        Dm
And the world will still turn
A#maj7
All that I want
       C6
Is to hear that one song
          Am
When the noises are gone
          Dm
I'll be singing along

Chorus:
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
It never really ends
Teach me the sound that can take me away
Play it again and again until I find rapture
Until the bitter end

Rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end
Finding rapture, rapture
Ever after, in the bitter end
Finding rapture
Ever after
Finding rapture
I need a rapture
