Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
All the other tabs/chords on this site didn't quite fit so I made my own. I copied them straight of my piano midi so I'm pretty sure it's right. Suggestions or corrections are always welcome! (I don't own anything blabla disclaimer bla.)

Oh btw *C# is a C# with the lower F as a root-note in the bass. It's easier to play on piano though.
(Verse 1) F#mBmC# There's no more wind to be felt in the sails F#mBmC# Hands full of fallen stars and comet tails F#mBmC# Rivers of sand unentwined through my hands F#mBmC# To know what they've seen, well, my burden's all pale
F#mBmA I'll make an hourglass from my fingers F#mE *C# I know I'm only passing through
(Chorus) F#mAEF#m I don't want to pretend that I'm stronger for it all F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend that the sadness is gone F#mAE 'Caus I wanna know that I'm steady on my feet F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend so peace will be real to me
Interlude F#m, F#m, Bm, C#
(Verse 2) F#mBmC# There's no respite to be found in the waves F#mBmC# Each rise and retreat will scrub the blood away F#mABmA I'll make an hourglass from my fingers F#mE *C# I know I'm only passing through
(Chorus) F#mAEF#m I don't want to pretend that I'm stronger for it all F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend that the sadness is gone F#mAE 'Caus I wanna know that I'm steady on my feet F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend so peace will be real to me
(Guitar Solo) F#m, F#m, D, E (2x)
F#mAEF#m I don't want to pretend that I'm stronger for it all F#mAEF#m I don't want to pretend that the sadness is gone
(Chorus) F#mAEF#m I don't want to pretend that I'm stronger for it all F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend that the sadness is gone F#mAE 'Caus I wanna know that I'm steady on my feet F#mDEF#m I don't want to pretend so peace will be real to me
