Blowing Out The Flame
Angel Of Babylon (2010)

Tuning: Standard EADGBE



[Intro]

C Am Em G x2


C
I sold my soul for diamonds
Am
And reason for acclaim
Em
Been begging for white angels
G
To blow my mind away

C
Been growing funny flowers
Am
Where roses never grew
Em
I stayed awake all night
G
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you


Dm                          Em     F
I tried to take the sun and I went blind
Dm                          Em   F     G
God help me to erase you from my mind
            F
I'm growing cold

And the night is yet to come
                  C
Anyone tell me is this


[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be
            Am
Lost and isolated
	G        F
I'm way too complicated
	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game
		  Dm
I cried in desperation
     Em     F
Mental devastation
			C       G
I'm blowing out the flame


C
Self-pity gave me shelter
Am
I always hid away in vice
Em
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
G                        F
I tried to read the signs

C
You never tried to take a look
Am
At the one I'd have died to be
Em  				G
Now it seems you don't see me at all


Dm
Was it all worth it
	 Em	F
Visions holding sway
Dm			      Em       F     G
When the real thing got lost along the way
     F		      C
Yes anyone tell me is this


[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be
            Am
Lost and isolated
	G        F
I'm way too complicated
	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game
		  Dm
I cried in desperation
     Em     F
Mental devastation
			C       Ab
I'm blowing out the flame


[Solo]

Bb   C Dm    Am     C   

Bb   C Dm    Gm     Am

		      C
Yes anyone tell me is this


[Chorus]
                      G
The way it's meant to be
            Am
Lost and isolated
	G        F
I'm way too complicated
	    G       C
For you to lean on me

		  G
I play a losing game
		  Dm
I cried in desperation
     Em     F
Mental devastation
			C       G    C
I'm blowing out the flame
