Blind To The Beautiful

Intro: C
Interludes: same as intro

              G                Dm                Am
The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
                     G                Dm                   Am
The bread we have broken, the wine we drank from tarnished cups,
      F                    C          G
And I stopped believing in miracles a long, long time ago,
  Dm                  C             G
I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul,
  Am               C                   G
I worshiped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end,
           F                  Am            C
To where I just can't see the beautiful anymore


           G        Dm                       Am
The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun,
              G      Dm                    Am
The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods
    F                C                         G
And hurricanes with children's names write our history
    F                     C             G
The signatures tracked by satellites on high,
               Am               C                  G
We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously,
           F                     Am
More than stocks and shares and corporate wares,
        F               C                  G
We were blinded by the skeptics and their greed
  F                C              G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore;
  F                C              G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore


    Am                        F                G                        Em
I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over,
          Am              F                       G                           Em
There was nothing to say, words stole away, their meaning lost in the ether,
 F                  C                       G
What there was left stopped making sense, a broken up alphabet, language dispersed
  F                   C            G
I just can't hear the beautiful anymore

               G       Dm                  Am
The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear,
              G        Dm                     Am
The canyons burning, forests consumed by the flames,
F               C                      G
Wildfires rage across the plains to be starved by barren soil,
   F                 C               G
Deserted farms where seeds refuse to grow,
  Am               C                          G
I close my eyes to cloudless skies I dream of what we had before,
   F                 C            G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
   F                 C            G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
   F                 C
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
