C - D - Em - D


(Verse)
C                   D   Em        D
Falling to my knees before you,

         C                           D   Em   
So ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes.

      C                           D   Em    D
Needlessly, I let myself stray before you,

      C                          D     Em    D
Now I face the consequence of my betrayal.



(Chorus)
   C     D Em   D  C             D  Em      D
My pa---radigm, my swe---et love I breathe,

     C           D   Em 
E|t's| yo-----u I rely on,

                C         D
Shelter me from co----ld,

    Em
I'm dying, paradigm.


(Verse)
Do we sacrifice, let our story die?
Blissful lullabies return again,
If we still a while, let love survive,
Delicately crawling to your grace.


(Chorus)


(Solo)
Em - Am - B - D


Em           Am
Perfect sky, shadowed by my lies,

B               D              Em
Good enough but always wanting more.

           Am
I replaced all your love with pain,

B            D                Em
So afraid to face the world alone.


(The solo here is just a walk up from E to C)



   C       Em      C                 Em
My pa---radigm, my swe---et love I breathe

(Chorus)


C   D  Em         D  C
       Dying paradigm (4x)
