[Verse 1]
                      Em
I miss counting the stars

       Em               C            D      Bm
And I miss the way you kiss me

                         C
I miss the way you touch me

                    Em
I miss calling you mine

    Em              C
Baby you know who I am

            D           Bm                      C           D
And there's nobody I'd rather dance with in the moonlight

                   C
I just want to go back
[Refrain]
            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

         D
This is my confession
[Chorus]
Em    C    G     D
I am no hero and I'm not a saint

Em       C       G
I can't save the world

     D
And I never asked for this

Em                     C                          G       D
In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for

 C    D            Em
Arise suspicious minds
[Verse 2]
Em                            C            D
You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you

B                                                C
But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself

                          D
Remind yourself that I'm dangerous!

Em               C            D
Maybe I'm not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk

Bm              C               D              C
Maybe I'm just selling a lie, a villain in disguise
[Refrain]
            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

         D
This is my confession
[Chorus]
Em    C    G     D
I am no hero and I'm not a saint

Em       C       G
I can't save the world

     D
And I never asked for this

Em                     C                          G       D
In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for

 C    D            Em
Arise suspicious minds
[Verse 3]
Em                                                D
I don't know if I'm praying, I don't know if I'm begging
But I have to believe that someone
                        C
Something out there can hear me
I have to know that there is a chance
D
I have to believe that I might escape this hell

Em
I fear I've lost myself and I don't know the way back

D
The way back to what I once was

        C                                   D
Am I Fatima? Am I Rusalka? Or am I just me? Sweet, innocent Annabel
[Bridge]
C     D       D#           Em    C   D        D#           Em
Star crossed lovers in strife embracing on a battlefield

C   D   D#       Em      C     D         B                  Em
Giving in to the fight, changing at the speed of light
[Refrain]
C            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole

         D
This is my confession
