 Fm
Easy on the eyes, uneasy on the heart
 C#            G#
Sew my wrists shut
 D#
Sew my wrists shut with hope

Straight into the light shining bright
   C#                 G#
I dare you to dream this
       D#                     Fm
And I dare you to dream this gone
 D#     C#              G#              D#
What I want to know is which makes you smile less

Chorus:
 C#           G#
Here's to the pain
                 D#        Fm
The light of the oncoming train
Now Come on
C#    G#            D#
Ode to solitude in chains
C#            G#
Here's to the pain

As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
C#    G#            D#
Ode to solitude in chains

Map the scars of a heart bruised and torn
Loosen the nose, love
Loosen the noose with love
What I want to know is why you keep me hanging

Chorus

   Fm
If I should fail (and I will) to stay
   A#m              Cm
Remember not to forget this feeling you have

I've failed
        A#m             Cm
Please pretend it never happened, baby

Chorus

Here's to the pain
The light of the oncoming train
Come on
Ode to solitude in chains

Chorus:
Here's to the pain
As always, heaven in flames
Now bleeding
Ode to solitude in chains

Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
Ode to solitude
