 F
Shame on you
  G#
Seducing everyone
 F
Faded you
      G#
Your diamond in the rough
A#
You don't have to tell me
F
I know where you've been
 G#            F
Shining once again

 F
Will you do
     G#
The thing you've always done
 F
Tell me true
    G#
I think you know the one
A#
One that makes me blurry
 F
Colors start to run
G#           F
Everytime I wonder
F
I go under

Chorus:
     F
The deeper the blues
     C/E        A#  F/A
The more I see black
  F                   C/E                   A# F/A
Sweeter the brew the feeling starts coming back
         G                  A#
All the deepest blues are black

How my mind is spinning
And my head is going numb
Right from the beginning
Our ending had begun
I can be your trouble
Shiver into you
Shaking like the thunder
Sinking under

Chorus

                G#
When it comes closing in
  D#
Reject
               A#
Cause I gotta move
         F                       G#
And the simple things get in the openings
    D#
Connect
                  A#
Become something new
     C#
To remove

Chorus - x2
