Aurora Avenue

G#m B E 2x


[Verse 1]
G#m    B          E
Speaking from the tongue
     G#m  B      E
Of an experienced simpleton
G#m   F#           E            G#m
Who obviously would rather be an emasculated
F#        E
Infantile complainee


[Chorus]
G#m    E           B
Keep it all to yourself
 E             C#m   G#m
As it eats away your health
    E               B
The attention, your ambition
 E                   C#m    G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
      E         B
Fight fire with fire
               E           C#m      G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
    E               B
The attention, your ambition
       E           C#m      G#m
It was the root of all your pain


[Instrumental]
G#m B E 2x


[Verse 2]
          G#m
You gave us something that
 B               E
I know we are all searching to find
   G#m         B             E
To put it into words you redefined
          G#m  B                E
Something new, something to relate to
G#m
I never met you
     F#                 E
But I feel just what you went through



[Chorus]
G#m    E           B
Keep it all to yourself
 E             C#m   G#m
As it eats away your health
    E               B
The attention, your ambition
 E                   C#m    G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
      E         B
Fight fire with fire
               E           C#m      G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
    B              E
You threw it all away.


[Bridge]
E      F#               G#m
Aurora avenue seemed to protect you
        B
In your sleep
                              E
I hope you find the peace you seek
            F#   G#m                B
You used to sing of youth I used to know


[Chorus]
G#m    E           B
Keep it all to yourself
 E             C#m   G#m
As it eats away your health
    E               B
The attention, your ambition
 E                   C#m    G#m
It was the root of all your guilt
      E         B
Fight fire with fire
               E           C#m      G#m
And speak truth with every word you say
    B              E
You threw it all away.
