The actual track mixes up instrumentation and dynamics, so just listen to it to get a feel for which sections should be loud and which soft, etc. Enjoy! Capo on 1st Fret. All chords relative to capo.

^BbDesperate^Gm measures lead to ^Fdeath ^D From the mouth of ^BbGabriel Who died in his ^Gmsleep when the world was a ^Fvery big mess, a ^Dvery big mess; ^FHe saw too ^Emuch

^DFrom now ^Gon I will ^Clook a^Fway from every accident That ^Emay or may not come my way

^AmSaw you were ^Gtalking ^Cup above the Aleph room ^GMasquerading as a loom ^AmBoth of us ^Gsaw things ^CNo one else would see as well ^GFrom the mouth of Gabriel ^CNo one else would hear as well ^GFrom the mouth of Gabriel From the mouth of Gabriel From the mouth of Gabriel ^EFrom the mouth of Gabriel

^ADon't be ^Dso sure of ^Gwhat you ^Cfeel (it might as well be trouble) ^AFrom now ^Don just let the universe ^Gbe your ^Cshelter from the enemy
