Chords

[Intro]
F#              B
  There was a boy

               F#
There was a girl

                B
There was a night
The moon, full and bright
F#               B
  There was a howl

            F#
Closer and closer

               B
There was a scream
There was a bite [Interlude] Fm Eb Gb Bbm Eb Cm Fm Eb Gb Bbm Eb Cm [Verse 1]
Fm            Eb     Gb
  He’s always been a dreamer

                Eb
A man without a face

                       Cm
The ghosts have silent footsteps

Fm         Eb     Fm
  Her only real achievement

                  Eb
The license to be frail

                  Cm
The beauty of her wisdom

               Bbm
Is permanently veiled
No music for the lonely
     Eb            Ab
They only know one dance

                Fm
The one they do alone

                     Bbm
The silence of their homes
Then winter builds a fortress
 Eb                 Ab
Around their lonely hearts

                   Fm
And life becomes a fable

                    Bbm
A snow globe in the dark

                            Eb  Ab
The light of the frozen moon

                     Fm
The howl, a familiar tune…
[Pre-Chorus]
    Ebm
The bane of an innocent dreamer

Abm                   Db
   Two of a kind on a moonlit night

     Bbm
They walk among the shooting stars
N.C. Six words for a hapless drifter N.C. A silver blade for the brave at heart N.C. Don’t become my work of art [Chorus]
Ebm         Db         Ebm
Save me, if you cannot save me

Abm           Db
I need you to slay me

         Bbm           Ebm
Only the embrace of my true love

Db         Ebm     Abm         Db
Could ever turn me back into a man now

         Bbm
Into the man now
[Verse 2]
Fm            Eb   Fm
  She finds a tiny snow globe

  Bb              Eb
A garland made of hay

                   Cm
Oh ghost of silent footsteps

                   Fm
Can you expel this bane?
[Interlude] Bb Eb Cm [Bridge]
Am             Dm              G
  Full moon confessions, lucid fantasy

           Am
It‘s not a dream

              Dm                   G
The hate, the fear, they can’t alleviate

E               Am
 Soon they will know

               G
But now we are together

        Am
We must go

    Dm          G
And get slain together

           Am
Or fall in love
[Chorus]
Am       G              Am
Save me, you only could save me

Dm                G
Or you’ll have to slay me

        Em            Am
Only an embrace of my true love

G        Am
Can ever change me

Dm                 G
Please say you can heal me

            Em
Need you to break this spell, love

Am          G            Am
Save you, I know I could save you

Dm            G
No one has to slay you

        Em                       Am
Take my embrace, please, have my true love

G              Am
You’ve already saved me

Dm                  G
Please, let me just break thee

               Em
Free from your bane, your globe of snow
