[Intro]

   


[Verse 1]

At twenty-four
         
I fell into th

e trapdoor
         
Threw a man ov

erboard
     
As I swam for 

the shore

At twenty-five
           
I noticed red 

in my skies
       
Made a bed for

 his lies
        
In the whites 

of my eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

I was naive
        
It got harder 

to breathe
         
Still, I don't

 let 'em see
              
That there's b


lood on my kne

es

All that I wan

t
       
Is to hear tha

t one song
          
When the noise

s are gone
         
I'll be singin

g along


[Chorus]

Teach me the s

ound that can 

take me away
            
Play it again 

              
and again unti

            
l I find raptu

re
           
It nevеr reall

y ends

Teach mе the s

ound that can 

take me away
            
Play it again 

              
and again unti

            
l I find raptu

re
           
Until the bitt

er end


[Verse 2]

At twenty-nine
          
I didn't see a

ll the signs
      
So I hung on t

he line
        
'Til I lost my

 spine

I prayed to Go

d
         
I could curb t

he black dog
         
Oh, the days a

re so long
          
With the oxyge

n gone


[Chorus]

Teach me the s

ound that can 

take me away
            
Play it again 

              
and again unti

            
l I find raptu

re
           
It nevеr reall

y ends

Teach mе the s

ound that can 

take me away
            
Play it again 

              
and again unti

            
l I find raptu

re
           
Until the bitt

er end


[Post-Chorus]
    
Rapture, raptu

re
            
Ever after, in

       
 the bitter en

d


[Bridge]

Guess what I l

earned
             
From every bri


dge that I bur

ned
           
That your love

 should be ear

ned
        
And the world 

will still tur

n

All that I wan

t
       
Is to hear tha

t one song
           
When the noise

s are gone
          
I'll be singin

[Chorus]

Teach me the s

ound that can 

take me away
            
Play it again 

              
and again unti

re
           
It nevеr reall

Teach mе the s

ound that can

Play it again

[Outro]
     
Rapture, raptu

re
            
Ever after, in

       
 the bitter en

d
     
Rapture, raptu

re
            
Ever after, in

       
 the bitter en

d
          
Finding raptur

Ever after
          
Finding raptur

I need a raptu
