Intro:     Em        D    C 


Em 
 The silence comes back round again 
     D                          C 
 An emptiness where once were flames 
         Em 
 When I fell upon your shoulders like the rain 
      D                                 C 
 You held me down to drown beneath the waves 
D           C 
 It's over, almost over 
D                         C 
 This kind of passion can only end in pain 


                   E 
 Like a crown of thorns 
 Bm                                Am               
 I can't wear this love around my heart 
                C                   D               E           
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark 
    Bm                                Am 
 I wear the memories you leave like scars 
           C            D 
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing 
 Am                  C       D        E 
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start 


 E      Bm      Am      C   D   


Em 
 I feel that every time I breathe 
     D                    C 
 The oxygen is suffocating me 
Em 
 It's not a sacrifice we can make 
     D                            C 
 To be the king and queen of heartache 
D           C 
 It's over, almost over 


                   E 
 Like a crown of thorns 
 Bm                                Am               
 I can't wear this love around my heart 
                C                   D               E           
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark 
    Bm                                Am 
 I wear the memories you leave like scars 
           C            D 
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing 
 Am                  C       D        E 
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the start 


 E      Bm      Am      C   D   


 Em 
 Parting is a sweet sorrow 
          C          Am 
 But the marks only fade with time 
Em                        C          Am 
 I believe that there is life on the other side 
D           C 
 It's over, almost over 


                   E 
 Like a crown of thorns 
 Bm                                Am               
 I can't wear this love around my heart 
                C                   D               E           
 Though we've tried and failed a thousand times to lift the dark 
    Bm                                Am 
 I wear the memories you leave like scars 
           C            D 
 I don't know if I can keep on breathing 
 Am                  C       D         
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the  
 Am                  C       D        E  
 If I'm bleeding, bleeding from the stars 


 E      Bm      Am      C   D 


Em 
 The silence comes back round again
