Bridge 2
Dressed in [E]white silk of rain, you [Asus2]marry the pain
As you [A]kneel in a church of bright [E]steel
A new [E]morning arrives, [Asus2]share the same skies
[A]Umbrellaing a land full of [E]peace
As the [E]memory fades on the [Asus2]edge of a blade
You'll [A]return, you're sure that you [E]will
From the [E]frame in your hand, a [Asus2]smile expands
[A]Hang from a thread of glass [E]tears
[E][D/E]Ahh-ahh, [E][D/E]ahh-ahh, [E][D/E]ahh-ahh...
