Em
All the way from where we came
B
Built a mansion in a day
Am
Distant lightning, thunder claps
 G
Watched our neighbor's house collapse
 B
Looked the other way

     Em
And then, the storm was overhead
        B
All the oceans boiled and rivers bled
   Am
We auctioned off our memories
G
In the absence of a breeze
B
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Chorus:
C
Pushed away, I'm pulled toward
   Em
A comedown of revolving doors
D
Every warning we ignored
  C
Drifting in from distant shores
C
The wind presents a change of course
    Em
A second reckoning of sorts
 D
We were wasted, waiting for
    C
A comedown of revolving doors

C
(ah ah ah ah)
Em
(ah ah ah ah)
D            C
(ah ah ah ah)
C
Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)
Em
(ah ah ah ah)
D            C
(ah ah ah ah)

And when the days that followed passed
In another mansion built to last
From our window, we could see
Only possibilities down the road and back

But then, the storm returned for more
In a comedown of revolving doors
Auctioned off our memories
In the absence of a breeze
Scatter what remains
Scatter what remains

Chorus

(ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)

(ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)

Fate don't fail me now (ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
(ah ah ah ah)
Fate don't fail me now
