PIERCE THE VEIL // THE DIVINE ZERO
I know this isn't perfect, but at least I tried haha
I made this using my piano only, so I don't know how it sounds with a guitar...
You are very welcome to tell me what's wrong, and I'll change it.
[INTRO]
Amaj7
[VERSE 1]
F#m
Maybe I could swim into your thoughts like your drugs do
F#m
Paralyze your body sick and tired of waking up too
Amaj7
Burning eyes and cigarettes
A6 Amaj7
I’m falling through the couch like a suicide mission tonight
A6
My God, here comes the downside
C#m C#sus2
Wild eyes of terror pray for sex on the beach while
C#m C#sus2
Oceans of kerosene will soak into me
A C#m B A
I’m not meant for this world, I just don’t see the point
A F#m
Don’t think about it, don’t over think about it
[PRE-CHORUS]
F#m F#sus4
And life is a joke
F#sus2 F#m F#sus4
But everything’s riding on me tonight
F#sus2 Amaj7 A
Been counting the stars and scars
Amaj7 B
How I’m becoming a work of art
[CHORUS]
C#m E
In desperate times and desperate measures
A Amaj7
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
F#m7 G#m A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
[VERSE 2]
F#m F#sus2 F#sus4 F#m
The whispered words “You’d better hide the bullets”
F#m/E A
You stayed on the phone and talked to me day and night
A
Trigger my nightmare once again
F#m
And it’s fucking loaded in hand
C#m F#m
And we’ll let the fire rage
C#m
The smoke and the drowning flames
A
My bedroom computer light is the only menace to my new faux wooden blinds
[CHORUS]
C#m E
In desperate times and desperate measures
A Amaj7
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
F#m7 G#m A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
C#m E B
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
Amaj7 C#m B/D# E
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I’ve loved and cared about
F#m
And then burn it down
C#m
...(SOLO)
[PRE-CHORUS]
F#m F#sus4
And life is a joke
F#sus2 F#m F#sus4
But at least I can love you, naked and tattooed
F#sus2 Amaj7 A
Counting the stars and scars
Amaj7 C#m
And if the pain is a sound, let’s slow it down
[CHORUS]
C#m E
Desperate times and desperate measures
A Amaj7
I come so close, my hopes are severed by the downside
F#m7 G#m A Amaj7 A6 Amaj7
A million waves in the ocean crash at once to make you smile
C#m E B
Now, I only pray when it all goes down
Amaj7 C#m B/D# E
I’ll be surrounded by all of the ones I’ve loved and cared about
F#m
And then burn it down
[ENDING]
F#m F#sus2 C#m E C#m [x2]
F#m F#sus2
Your serotonin’s gone
C#m E C#m
The kerosene is gone
F#m F#sus2
The sunset is gone
C#m E C#m ...
So hold on
