Blind to the Beautiful
Intro: G
Interludes between verses are in G
Solo phrase is the chords for a verse then Chorus.
G Am C
The stars are fading, ashes to ashes and dust to dust,
G Am C
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,
F C G
I lost my faith and I sacrificed my soul,
Am C G
I worshiped fallen idols, chased false prophets to an end,
Am C G
To where I just can't see the beautiful anymore
G Am C
The ice retreating, mountains exposed in the sun,
G Am C
The earth is baking, raindrops precede the floods
F C G
And hurricanes with children's names write our history
F C G
Signatures tracked by satellites on high,
Am C G
We should have talked about the weather a bit more seriously,
Am C
More than stocks and shares and corporate wares,
G-C G-C G
We were blinded by the skeptics and their greed
Am C G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore;
Am C G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Am C G
I howled and I cried when the melody died, the song was finally over,
Am C G
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
Am C G
I just can't hear the beautiful anymore
Solo/Instrumental
G Am C
The oceans are rising, islands in time disappear,
G Am C
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,
Am C G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
Am C G
I just can't see the beautiful anymore
