Verse 1:
[Am] City of[C] blue [Dm]tile
[Am] Figure [C]in Ce[Dm]ramics
[Am] Where [C]we reach [Dm]out
[Am] Grab for [C]Porce-
Chorus 1:
-[Dm]lain But [Am]it's[Bb] too fragil[Dm]e to hold
And it [Am]shatters [Bb]in our [Dm]hands
In time the [Am]seasons will
[Bb]seal these [Dm]shards
Into the s[Am]lits that
de[Bb]note your [Dm]wrists
Death is the [Bb]answer
To calcu[Am]lations composed
of [Bb]motions that are the [Dm]same
And secret and dif[Bb]ferent
A missing [Am]alphabet
with a [Bb]message for us
Verse 2:
When [Dm]people die
(DIE,DIE!)
They take a [Am]piece
of [C]us with [Dm]them
(PEOPLE DIE AND DIE!)
And holes in [Am]clouds
are [Bb]minutes [Dm]passing
(DIE AND DIE!)
Rescind this [Am]line
and [C]several [Dm]ties
(PEOPLE DIE AND
DIE EVERYDAY!)
The skyline un[Am]folds
into [C]expla-
Chorus 2:
-na[Dm]tion That sometimes
[Bb]words give up
And [Am]silently walk off the
[Bb]edge the edge of the page
And [Dm]here the cry opens [Bb]up
reveals the [Am]word inside
The [Bb]crack in the porce[Dm]lain
The [Bb]crack in the por[Am]celain
Bb Dm(hold)
The crack in the porcelain
Interlude: Bb--Dm--
Bridge:
The [Bb]silent line of
s[Dm]kylit eyes show
The [Bb]silent line of
s[Dm]kylit eyes show
The [Bb]silent line of
s[Dm]kylit eyes show
The [Bb]silent line of
s[Dm]kylit eyes show
(Repeat)

Death up there shine
more brightly than
lives down here
Try and live
(Repeat Verse 2)

Try and [Dm]live
Try and [Bb]live
Try and [Bb]live
Try and [Dm]live
Try and [Bb]live
Try and [Bb]live
Try and [Dm]live
Bb Dm---(hold)
Try and live, live
Try and live
Try and live
