AFI - The Embrace

[Intro]
Dm G D Dm
G D Dm

[Verse 1]
Dm
Watching it crumble
Dm
Might have eased the hurt
Dm
Feeling it disappear
Dm
Only made it worse

[Verse 2]
Dm
Pulling it piece by piece
Dm
Slashing up ribbons could dismiss
Dm
To slowly disintegrate
Dm
Could have been the perfect gift

[Chorus]
Dm F
May you feel this, while you sleep
C G Dm
Push the poisonous thorns in you
F
May you feel this while you wake
C G
Bear your poisonous thorns

[Interlude]
Dm C G D

[Verse 3]
Dm C G
Walk into traffic
D Dm
Running with open knives
C
Searching for mercy here
Dm
That I’m too weak to find

[Verse 4]
Dm
To take my deepest breath
Dm
I walk into the raging sea
Dm
To drown out this emptiness
Dm
It’s all you have left for me

[Chorus]
Dm F
May you feel this, while you sleep
C G Dm
Push the poisonous thorns in you
F
May you feel this while you wake
C G
Bear your poisonous thorns
Dm F
May you feel this, while you wake
C G
Bear your poisonous thorns

[Guitar Solo]
Dm C G Bb
Dm

[Verse 5]
Dm
I hope you feel this
C
I hope that you can feel this
Gm Bb Dm
As it’s fading the darkness shifts (the darkness shifts)
Gm N.C. Dm
This may be the perfect gift

[Chorus]
Dm F
May you feel this, while you sleep
C G Dm
Push the poisonous thorns in you
F
May you feel this while you wake
C G Dm
Bear your poisonous thorns

[Outro]
F C G Dm
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
F C
May you feel this, may you feel this while you wake
G Dm
May you feel this while you wake
