Velvet Covered Brick Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][G][D][Em][G]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Cyclical
Stuck inside a nev[D]er-ending ride
ride
But you're [G]comfortable
Just another decomposing [Bm]alibi[Em]
Sing yourself to sleep
Count the days gone by
But [D]outside of your walls passes real life
So [G]here's a velvet covered
[D]brick[G]
Death comes to us all too [D]quick
[Bm]Here's your chance to live,
but I heard you say, [D]oh

[Verse 2]
[Em]We're [D]heading nowhere
[G][F#m][D][Em]
It's my [D]cross [G]to [F#m]bear[D][Em]
Even horizons can [G]fade
Hope says she's [D]never
[C]estranged[Bm][Em]
There aren't a wing or a [G]prayer
If [F#m]we're head[D]ing [Em]nowhere
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
Turbu[Esus4]lence
[Em]Am I causing you to think
[D]outside yourself for once?
You're still [G]comfortable
Dissolving years like no one else be[Bm]fore
And I said, [Em]lead the way you are
Lead your way through this
But [D]fear and failure's made you its captive,
it's passive
[G]So here's a velvet covered [D]brick
[G]Death comes to us all too quick
[Bm]Here's your chance to love,
but I heard you scream, [D]oh

[Verse 4]
[Em]We're heading [D]nowhere[G][F#m][D]
[Em]It's my [D]cross to [G]bear[F#m][D][Em]
Even horizons can [G]fade
Hope says she's [D]never
[C]estra[Bm]nged[Em]
There aren't a wing [G]or a [D]pray[Em][D][Em][G]
[D]er[Em][G][D][Em]
[G][Am][C]
If we're head[Em]ing nowhere

[Verse 5]
Even [Em]horizons can [G]fade
Hope says she's [F#m]never
[D]est[Em]ranged
There aren't a wing [G]or
[D]a p[Em]rayer
[D]We're

[Verse 6]
[G]heading now[F#m]here[D][Em]
It's my [D]cross [G]to bea[D]r[Em]
Even horizons can [G]fade
Hope says she's [D]never
[C]estra[Bm]nged[Em]
There aren't a wing or a prayer
If we're head[G]ing nowhere
