It's just your heart that's breaking without choice
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
Staying up with the blue screen glow
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
When the dread is flowing down my veins
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
Tear it all and build it up again
Hear your heart that's breaking without choice
I want to hear those chimes ring again
Ring again

It's too late, it's too late
G C F Bb
It's too late, it's too late
C F Bb D#
It's too late, it's too late
G C F Bb
It's too late, it's too late
G Am C
Just like I found it, my world is split
C C C C
Right down the spine
(Then something easy like the intro)
Years bled dry now ripe for a reckoning
My blade's back slash beckoning
Slice my wounds and I make the sign one more time
Come on. come on. come home. come home
Yeah it's too late, it's too late
It's too late, to refrain...refrain...refrain...
Did those angels ever sing?

[Verse]
Am
Sleeping in the valley, valley of ill fortune
Waking cross the river, river of delusion
Full moon lures the waves, waves of desperation
Empty hearts and mouths wither away
[Chorus]
Am G Am
Close your eyes
Am Em C
Slow your breath
Em Am
Dream of northern lights
Em Am
Around this dance
Riff 2
[Verse]
Am
No abandones, no llores, busca tu rio
No te sientas perdido
Gira, vuelta y vuelta
Bailala
[Verse]
Am
Cup your hands to her parched heart,
parched and Broken heart
No water here to drink way downstream
One goes where the water flows and water's running dry
So don't give up no don't cry, don't cry
[Chorus]
Am G Am
Just close our eyes
Am Em C
Pretend we forget
Em Am
North country dreams
Em Am
Twist this dance .....of death
Riff 2
[Verse]
Am
Danza de la muerte
Si viene a verte
Que bailando te encuentre
Bailando, girando
Danza de la muerte
[Verse]
Am
Spin round, spin round, spin round
Vuelta, vuelta, muerte
Danza de la muerte
Bailando, girando
Danza de la muerte
Vuelta, vuelta, muerte
Danza de la muerte
Bailala

Normal tuning, but i think he play (as often) one step down.
So transpose +2 if you want to play with this tune.
In this case, use Asus2 (x0225x
Gsus2 : 3x0023 (Not shure about this chord)

Reviens lui picorer le cou

avalées par la mer

Le corbeau se fatigue
Les corbeaux se multiplient
Le ciel noircit à chaque nouveau cadavre
Les champs s'enflamment
L'hystérie les chasse des
villes vers les cavernes
Et les collines assombries
Vers les hauts plateaux
Vers les hauts plateaux
Vers les hauts refuges
Vers les hauts refuges
Vers les hautes plaines
Vers les hautes plaines
Vers les collines
Vers les collines
Vers les hautes terre
Vers les hautes terre

Tempo :
1st half - C G D
G D
2nd half - B D G G
[Verse]
G D
Felt a tremor stir beneath my breath
G D
That forecasts storms on the gallup poll
C G D
Woke up from the nightmare news
C G D
Hoping to read a sign in the morning air
[Verse]
G D
Nothing changes here and nothing improves
G D
All say my friends who just want out
C G D
And leave these troubles behind
C G D
Scatter like paper in the eye of the storm
C G D
Documented with a silenced note
C G D
That's only heard from far, far away
[Instrumental]
G D
C G D
[Verse]
G D
More cards in play, following suit
G D
Everywhere you look, you only see red
C G D
Wonder when to call off the race
C G D
Watching a horse running down its last legs
C G D
Just when you think it couldn't get much worse
C G D
Watch the numbers rise on the death toll
C G D
And the chimes of freedom flash and fade
C G D
Only heard from far, far away
[Instrumental]
B D G
B D
[Verse]
G B
I hear you can't trust in your own
G B
Now the grey is broken in the early morn
C G D
And the words forming barely have a voice
C G D
It's just your heart that's breaking without choice
Everything you've learned is distorted in your head
Bouncing off the walls, unraveling the thread
Staying up with the blue screen glow
Forgetting everything you ever dreamed years ago
When the dread is flowing down my veins
I want to tear it all down and build it up again
Tear it all and build it up again
Hear your heart that's breaking without choice
I want to hear those chimes ring again
Ring again
