[Verse 1]
                  F#m
Why are you never real?
Whenever you appear
                       C#m
You leave me with that grace
                    G#
I am trembling with fear
      F#m
But I know that
you will disappear
          C#m
Just as I awake
              G#
Whisper in my ear

[Verse 2]
       F#m
Well I believe
Somewhere in the past
              C#m
Something was between
             G#
You and I my dear
          F#m
And it remains
With me to this day
                 C#m
No matter what I do
                     G#
This scar will never fade

[Chorus]
   F#m
So let's make trouble
in the dream world
C#m
Hijack heaven with
another memory now
F#m
I make the most of
the turning tide
        C#m
It just split what's
left of the burning silence
F#m
Don't wait, cause this
could be the last time
C#m
You turn up in the
 reveries of my mind
  F#m
I wake up to a
 suicide frenzy
C#m
Loaded dreams
still leave me empty

[Verse 3]
     F#m
I believe

Somewhere in the past
                 C#m
Something was between
             G#
You and I my dear
          F#m
And it remains

With me to this day
               C#m
No matter what I do
                      G#
This wound will never heal

[Bridge]
            C#m   F#m
Why are you never real?
    G#
The shifting states
you follow me through

F#m  C#m
Unrevealed
     G#
Just let me go or
 take me with you

[Chorus]
   F#m
So let's make
 trouble in the
dream world
C#m
Hijack heaven with
another memory now
F#m
I make the most
of the turning tide
        C#m
It just split what's
left of the burning silence
F#m
Don't wait, cause this
could be the last time
C#m
You turn up in the
reveries of my mind
  F#m
I wake up to a
 suicide frenzy
C#m
Loaded dreams still
leave me empty

How to play The Apparition: key, chords and progression

These are The Apparition chords by Sleep Token on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

The Apparition by Sleep Token is written in C♯ minor (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯) and moves through 3 chords: F#m, C#m and G#.

The backbone of the song is F#m – C#m – G# – F#m (iv – i – V – iv in C♯ minor). Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 4th fret and play the shapes Dm, Am, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 0% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
