Intro:
DRUM
Verse:
(E)
Let me paint a picture for you then I'll have to teach you to see it
(E)
Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in Eden
(E) (D)
Rolled a lucky pair of dice,
(A) (E)
Ended up paradise
(E)
Landed on a snake's eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding
Chorus:
C#m
You know if I could change anything,
AE
I think I would start with the name
BC#m
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
A
And I know there's no going back now 'cause
E
Life in Eden
BC#m
Life in Eden changed
A
No way to make the pain play fair
EB
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
C#mA
So, when they ask why'd she go you can say 'cause
E
Life in Eden
BC#m
Life in Eden changed
AB
Life in Eden changed
Verse:
(E)
Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me
(E)
What is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy
(E) (D)
Idolized my innocence,
(A) (E)
Stole it from me in the end
(E)
Now I'm wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me
Chorus:
C#m
You know if I could change anything,
AE
I think I would start with the name
BC#m
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
A
And I know there's no going back now 'cause
E
Life in Eden
BC#m
Life in Eden changed
A
No way to make the pain play fair
EB
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
C#mA
So, when they ask why'd she go you can say 'cause

Life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

BREAK:
BE
There was a time when I was taking all bets
C#mA
That this place was even better than as good as it gets
BE
And now looking back from the outside in
C#mAE
I think I was choking on the air in Eden
C#mAEB
Choking on the air in Ede-e-en
C#mA
Life in Eden changed
