F#           G      F#  E
Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back?
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

Chorus:
      G   A            F#   G    F#  E
I am paralyzed by the blood of Christ
            G       A            F#      G
Though it clouds my eyes, I can never stop
 F#       E
Never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears, all the broken words

Chorus

Bm                                       F#
When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
Bm
You'll no longer know if any of
 F#
this was really true at all

Chorus

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back?
I can tell by your tears you remember it all.
