Magnificent piece of music...


Tuning: Standard


C#m, A (x2)

[Verse] 
          C#m
From the lake
                A
Where I lost it all
                 C#m
Stacked on the stakes
                     A
Yet you blessed the fall

                 C#m
I guess that I knew I was warned
           B
I left my words in the cold
                   A
The things that I built for myself
             C#m
Castles are tumbling down
               B
Surrender the heir, savour the crown
                    A
Here lies where I drown


[Pre-Chorus]
     A
The first time that I sought for grace
             B
But not the last lung I'd put to waste


[Chorus]
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away


[Bridge]
 C#m
Fumbling through this jaded book
     B
The hearts I stole, the air I took
      A
What love is this
              C#m
And now the photograph is all that's left
    B
To feed the wolves and empty chests
     A
To break the best


[Pre-Chorus]
     A
The first time that I sought for grace
             B
But not the last lung I'd put to waste


[Chorus]
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away
                       C#m  B
I'm burning down the sta_____kes
       A
Wash away, wash away


[Outro]
          A
I never bled for a thousand lies
                   B
Just to stem the flow
         A
I never wept over a thousand lives
                  B
Just to let this go

          A
I never bled for a thousand lies
                   B
Just to stem the flow
         A
I never wept over a thousand lives
                  B
Just to let this go

       A          B          A          B
Wash away, wash away, wash away, wash away...
