D5

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
D7
The way that the drapes cling to the clasps
        E7                  Gm                     Dmaj7
And the essence of all that rises and falls is the sound

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7
The melody still lingers long after the song
    D7
The way that the ground takes claim above
       E7                 Gm                       Dmaj7
Of the essence of all above and below ground is the sound

[Chorus]
D                                           D7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
                              Am             G
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
                          Bb                Dmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound
Dmaj7
Until I heard the sound.


[Verse 3]
Dmaj7
The embers of memories, of the flame that is past
D7
The way that the drink cling to the cask
       E7                  Gm                         Dmaj7
Oh the essence of all that collapses or crawls is the sound

[Chorus]
D                                       D7
I used to think that life was just an accident
D7                             Am                  G
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
                                Bb          Dmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound

[Guitar Solo]
Dmaj7  D7  E7  Gm  D7

[Chorus]
D                                           D7
Well I used to think that life was just an accident
                              Am             G
Happened once and then broke, never, ever to happen again
                          Bb                Dmaj7
Like a dream or a trance, until I heard the sound

[Outro]
Dmaj7
Until I heard the sound.
Dmaj7
Until I heard the sound.
Dmaj7
Until I heard the sound.
