Chords

[Verse 1]
  Cm
     I don't know where the years have gone

                               F
     Memories can only last so long

                                Cm
     Like faded photographs, forgotten songs

Gm  Cm  
      And the things I never knew

                                            F
      When the skin is thin, the heart shows through

                               Cm
      Please believe me what I tell you is true
[Chorus]
      Bb                           Am
      Where's the lights, turn 'em on again

      Gm                     F
      One more night to believe and then

      Eb
      Another note for my requiem

      D   
      A memory to carry on

      D          Cm   D                     Gm         Eb
      The story's over when the crowds have gone                  

    F              Eb    Dm   Cm   D
      Ooooh
[Verse 2]
      Cm
      All my friends have been crucified

                           F          Eb
      Made life a long suicide true

                  D          Cm
      Guess we never figured out the rules
But I'm still alive, my fingers feel
                                     F              
      Gonna play on till the final reel's through

 Eb               Dm              Cm
      And read the credits from a different view
[Chorus]
      Bb                           Am
      Where's the lights, turn 'em on again

      Gm                     F
      One more night to believe and then

      Eb
      Another note for my requiem

      D   
      A memory to carry on

      D          Cm   D                     Gm         Eb
      The story's over when the crowds have gone          
[SOLO] D Am D Am [Bridge]
  Bb                       Am
      When the crowds are gone

  Gm                 F
      And I'm all alone

  Eb
      Playing the saddest song

  F
      Now that the lights are gone

  Bb                      Am
      Turn them on again

  Gm                            F
      One more time for me my friend

  Eb                        F
      Turn 'em on again 

  Bb
     I never wanted to know

                         Am
     Never wanted to see

          Gm 
     I wasted my time

                        F
     Till time wasted me

          Eb
     Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay

               F
    'Cause the persons I am, are the parts that I play

          Bb
     So I plot and I plan

                       Am
     Hope and I scheme

            Gm
     To the lure of a night

                                   F
     Filled with unfinished dreams

        Eb
     I'm holding on tight, to a world gone astray

             F
     As they charge me for years

                     Bb      Gm
     I can no longer pay      

              F                Eb    F
     When the crowds are gone  

     Bb
     Turn 'em on again 

              Am
     Turn 'em on again

    Gm
     Turn 'em on again

              F
     Turn 'em on again

  Eb
     Turn 'em on again

                   F
     Turn 'em on again

  Bb
     I never wanted to know

                         Am
     Never wanted to see

          Gm 
     I wasted my time

                        F
     Till time wasted me

          Eb
     Never wanted to go, always wanted to stay

               F                             Bb
    'Cause the person I am, are the parts  I play

  Am   Gm
     I plaaaay

  F    Eb
     I plaaaay

     F
     Aaah

  Bb
     And the lights
Turn then off my friend
  F  
     And the ghosts
Well just let them in
 Eb
     Cause in the dark

F
     It's easier...

        Bb       Gm     Eb     F     Bb 
     to seeeee....
