personally, I switch to chords when the song brings them in)

[Verse 1]
Em
Like a white whirl
Em
an opium den
Em
it's a warm blur
Em
that fills your head
Em
let me suffer, let me feel this pain
Em                                  Em
I need the fear of being wiped away
Em
I need the panic that it won't be OK
Em
in these rising flames:

[Chorus]
N.C.                         Em
Everything is black and gold
C                           G
  we can dance in the amber glow
D                                    Em
 hold my hand through the ash and smoke
C                  G
 I am ember, I am coal
D
Everything is black and gold

[Verse 2]
Em
A corrupted beast inside a tortured dream
Em
opened up my veins and let the weakness leave
Em
to gain strength, do we have to bleed?
Em
To escape the dark, don't we burn to char?
Em
you can fall asleep in these poppy fields
Em
but I brought kerosene:

[Chorus]
N.C.                         Em
Everything is black and gold
C                           G
  we can dance in the amber glow
D                                    Em
 hold my hand through the ash and smoke
C                  G
 I am ember, I am coal
D
Everything is black and gold
Em
C                           G
  we can dance in the amber glow
D                                    Em
 hold my hand through the ash and smoke
C                  G
 I am ember, I am coal
D
Everything is black and gold
N.C.
and we can dance in the amber glow
