Gmaj7                                    F#m7
Captain, I have something that I must confess

                                 Em9
Something that I must get off my chest

                           F#m7
Until it is said, I cannot rest

Gmaj7                                               F#m7
Captain? (Eurylochus, go make sure this island is secure)

                                                Em9
But captain (There's only so much left we can endure)

                                        F#m7
(Whatever you need to say can wait some more, of that, I'm sure) Okay

Bm
(Eurylochus, back so soon? Where's the rest of your crew?)

G                      G                F7
(And by the gods, what happened to you?)

Bm
We came across a palace, inside we heard a voice

F#/A#
It seemed to show no malice, to greet it was our choice,

    A6                                                     G6
But nothing could prepare us for the power, that awaited inside

                         Em    F#7
(What did this palace hide?)        Sir.

Bm
 Since we left home we've faced a variety of foes from a wide range of places

F#/A#
Gods, monsters, you know the roster, hostile creatures that we could resist

    A6
But this was a hеll of a twist, cause we are wеak to a power like this

                 G6
(What was it?) A woman.

     Gmaj7
Come inside ((Damn))

Bm7                              Dadd9
Welcome to the best part of your lives

Em7                            Gmaj7
Go ahead and rest wherever you like

                 Bm7                    Dadd9
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now

                   Em7
(Only I stayed outside, but the rest went in)

       Gmaj7
Take a seat

Bm7                               Dadd9
Let me bring you all something to eat

             Em7                                Gmaj7
I bet you're tired from the years spent on your feet

                 Bm7                    Dadd9
I got you, don't worry Circe's got you now

                  Em7
(By the time they ate, it was far too late)

Em7
For inside the meal (think of your past)

Em7
She had cast a spell (and your mistakes)

Bm7
They began to squeal (they'll be the last)

Bm7
And grow snouts and tails (mistakes you'll make)

She changed them (I got all the power)

Aadd9

They transformed (this is the price)

And it wasn't quick (we pay to live)

From men to pigs (tend to forgive)

(We have to go save them) No we don't

     G                               Bm
Look at all we've lost and all we've learned

             A                                    D
Every single cost is so much more than what we've earned

                G                               Bm
Think about the men we have left before there's none

                   A                            D
Let's just cut our losses, you and I, and let's run

                       G                                Bm
(Of course I'd like to leave now, of course I'd like to run)

                  A                                  D
(But I can hardly sleep now knowing everything we've done)

                              G                         Bm
(There's no length I wouldn't go if it was you I had to save)

            A
(I can only hope you'd do the same)

Em7
I can hear her still (no one will find)

Em7
And her voice deceives (their way between)

What if she can’t be killed? (my nymphs and I)

Bm7
Will you choose to leave? (their loving queen)

G                    A
(No, I don't play, I puppeteer, yeah)

Em7
She’s a clever witch (this is the price)

Em7
And she’s hard to slay (we pay to love)

Bm7
It’s a game of wits (we draw the line)

Bm7
But you don’t have to play (watch from above)

Aadd9
((I have to try)) (I got all the power)

Aadd9
