Am Dm Am A moth, into a butterfly Dm And a lie, into the sweetest truth C G Am I'm so afraid of life I try to call your name, but I'm silenced by the fear Of dying in your heart once again F Am I see the seasons changing F Am G And in the heart of this autumn I fall F G With the leaves from the trees Chorus: C G Am I play dead Dm To hide my heart F Am Until the world gone dark fades away I cry like God cries the rain and I'm just one step away From the end of today I see the reasons changing And in the warmth of the past, I crawl Scorched by the shame Chorus: C G Am I play dead Dm To hide my heart F C Until the world gone dark fades away C G Am I stay dead Dm F Am Em Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate Am Em Before it's too late Am Em Am Em Before it's too late (Before it's too late) Chorus: I play dead To hide my heart Until the world, gone dark, fades away I stay dead Until you veil my scars And say goodbye to fate I play dead To hide my heart Until the world, gone dark, fades away Before it's too late You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
