The Great Collapse


Acoustic version of an awesome song. I used the following video as my reference http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nEB96x28ZU and it all seems to be accurate. Here's The Zolas website containing lyrics and other links http://www.thezolasmusic.com/ Here are some chords you'll need to know first though Bm [224432] G [320033] D [x00323] A [002220] F#7 [x1435x] Capo on 3rd fret VERSE Bm G D I dreamt about you the other night Bm G D We were there and people started to die Bm G D The seas rose to a terrible height G D G F#7 But we survived yes we survived (I don't know why) VERSE Bm G D We watched the grass pile up in the cracks Bm G D The birds return, the nights went black Bm G D Yeah we were lovers in the great collapse G D G F#7 The seasons came, the seasons passed CHORUS G D A Em So free what you love 'cause it's gonna die anyway G D A Em Those golden days will be fossilized and you'll scream G D Bm A Oh back it up, back it up, but it's not the same G D A Bm Though it's enough just to say I knew you well x3 -> Bm, G, D x1 -> G, D, G, F#7 VERSE Bm G D Now I can't sleep and I can't say no Bm G D Civilization ain't got no soul Bm G D The tick tock ticks out of control G D G F#7 I'm on a roll, I'm on a roll (he's lost control) VERSE Bm G D Though when my dream ends Bm G D It's true we're hardly friends Bm G D I can't forget those seasons G D D F#7 The world is one, the world is one CHORUS G D A Em So free what you love 'cause it's gonna die anyway G D A Em Those golden days will be fossilized and we'll scream G D Bm A Oh back it up, back it up, but it's not the same G D A Bm Though it's enough just to say I knew you well Or alternately continue the chorus by ending the last line with... G, D, A, G and then start the chorus again as done in the video Hope you enjoy it! - Ev
