None of them
G We need a myth Bm We need an amethyst bridge Em We need a high hanging cliff Jump, fall and lift C We can make it But we need a myth We need a path through the mist Like in our beds, we were just kids Like what was said by our parents G#m A myth C# 'Cause what we're after is just this A myth 'Cause what we're after is just this A We need a myth C#m I feel my heart's like a fist F#m Words spilling out of the blessed lips D Of any prophet or goddess I need a myth Brought back to life by a kiss Scrape away grey cement Show me the world as it was again As it was in a myth A red ribbon to reconnect The lady's head to her neck And to forget that her throat was ever slit Bb 'Cause what we're after is just this Eb It's a myth 'Cause what we're after is just this G#m F# E And I'm sick of all these picture books that try To steal some old reflections for their light But desperate measures point to desperate times F# And that's why We need a myth B Ebm G#m E (Instrumental) B We're cut adrift Ebm We need a mass uplift G#m The world is trembling and weeping E Just at the point of believing In a myth The sun that shines on my head The moon that lights me to bed Were two identical twins Inside of a myth I heard the voice of a friend On Lethe's banks, wading in And he said, "Before I forget...” C# We need a myth Fm As we lean in to kiss Bbm To get two nails through the wrist F# To get covered in blood And to get covered in spit C# And to forgive And if all we're taught is a trick Why would this feeling persist? And with the truth closing in I must insist We need a myth -------------------------- As the song progresses, they use barre chords further up the neck; for example, even though the last set of chords has an F-minor in it, you'll want to do it at the 7th fret instead of the 1st if you want to be as accurate as possible.
