D
In the violent silence
      G             C
Of a dream within a dream
    D
You fill my soul with beauty
          G            C
You're my shiny man machine
     D
I'm sinking in the roses
         G             C
Falling down to fade away
     D
The velvet blade of apathy
           G              C
Makes the crush so bittersweet


[Chorus]
D                   Bb
And I, I could have died last night
     D                     Bb      C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
     D               Bb
And I, I could have died last night
     D                     Bb      C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god

D Bb x2

     D
Your presence is the morning
     G              C
Your absence is the night
    D
I'm searching your dark hallways
        G                   C
and I'm trying to find your light
D
Swimming your sad ocean
     G                C
I'm drowning in your sea
 D
This will all be over soon
          G             C
And we'll learn to live again

[Chorus]
     D                Bb
And I, I could have died last night
     D                     Bb      C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
     D               Bb
And I, I could have died last night
     D                      Bb     C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god

        Bb      C       D
In the evening stars I see your eyes
Bb          C       D
I hear you speak to me
Bb          C       D       D#
I miss you now so much it aches
Bb        C     D
So broken so afraid

(Guitar solo)
D Bb x4

[Chorus]
    D                Bb
And I, I could have died last night
    D                      Bb      C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
    D                Bb
And I, I could have died last night
    D                      Bb      C
But I heard the voice of a smaller god
