Chords

[INTRO] N.C. I was born and
Bm                         F#m
Raised by the sea; shy yet proud

D          A     G                 
learned to stay away from the crowd 

A  D           F#m
In my home, my lighthouse

Bm                   F#m          
101 steps, round and down

D         A        G                 
New Years Eve, one night on the town 

A   D          F#m        Bm
Can change one life into eternity
[MAIN THEME] Bm F#m D A G A D F#m Bm F#m D A G A D F#m [VERSE]
Bm                   D           
All I could see, her eyes 

       Bm                   D
We got caught in the moment all of the night

Em               G          
Taken beyond all lines

   Em                    G     A
In silence, leaving them all behind

Bm                              D                 
She had found the sails for the following night

    Bm                                 D
The town, for her, was getting way too small

    Em             G           
She promised to be mine   

Em       Asus4        A
Forever, for that one night

G      
Moments, passion, small defeats 

   Bm
Concealed emotions found in me

 G        Em        D         A
"You gave life to a brand new me"

Bm                  D 
Crossing the wintry fields

          Bm              D
The first hour of morning light

Em                    G          
Warmed by the flame inside

    Em                    G      A
The lasting memory of the ending night

  Bm                              D     
I never had a chance to stop what hit me

Bm                      D
What broke my bones and mauled me

      Em                      G  
After hours of deep unwilling sleep 

          Em                 G      A
In a cold shelter, fell back in the dark

        A
And the hours of the day passed
[CHORUS]
  Am                            Em     
A nightmare awakes me, blinking light

C          G            F
There's no guide, blind ships in the night

G   C         Em             G
Oh, blood red moon, eat away the night

                          Bm
Darkness covers my lonely soul 

                         Em
No one to feed the dying light
[BRIDGE CHORDS] Em Am G D Em Am G D Em Am G D Em Am G D [VERSE]
     Em                 G            
Good morn', oh dreadful day

             Em               G              Am 
I prayed the moon had lit the sea instead of me

                 C  
For the sails of night

       Am           C          D
Please tell me everything is alright

   Em                          G         
My voice in the room broke the silence

Em                             G
Everybody killed me with their eyes

       Am                   C             
What I was to hear made the people cry

  Am                          C     D
Impossible for me to keep the tears inside
[CHORUS]
 Am                                    Em
"All on the board the White Pearl have died!

C       G        F                   
Coastal reef has tolled their lives

G   C           Em           Am
And you are the light of the night!"
[VERSE]
    G                 Em              
One thing I remember

         G       
Before I fell on the ground

  Am                     C     Am
Although I never saw the face 

           C        D
A name was inked in his arm

Em                         G          
Love can be like poetry of demons, 

   Em                         G                      
Or maybe God loves complex irony?

    Am                 C            Am     
The family name stated I had seen before

    C              D
Was written on her front door

 Am 
"Silence in the courthouse!"
D Em C G D B7
  Am                      D          Em
A presence in the room we both could feel

    C      G      D      B7        Am
The father of her unborn child and me
[CHORUS]
Am                                    Em
All on the board the White Pearl have died

C       G        F                    
Coastal reef has tolled their lives 

G     C         Em 
While I was the guide light

Am                          Em
Back in my tower, run, run, run

C        G      F            
Light is out, I hope to see 

G     C        Em             Bm
Black oceans beneath rise and swallow me
[INSTRUMENTAL] Bm F#m D A G A D F#m Bm F#m D A G A D F#m [BRIDGE] Bm C F# Bm Bm C F# Bm F# Bm
Bm                           C
One step will take me back inside 

                F#
Another sees my end!

                          Bm                
No one can love a man who guarded the light 

 G            C
(Gaurded the light) one fateful night

        F#                     
Flaming eyes I must confront 

  Bm     F# Bm
Before I am stated free

                      C       
Defining innocence is hell 

                   F#
After all that has passed

                     Bm   
Building new walls inside 

G          C
My eternal night

                      F# 
Although they took my heart 

             Bm      F#    Bm
And dried me up, sometimes I still bleed

F#      Bm  Em               F#
Show me the way, show me the way

               Bm      
The light will show me 

A     D             F#
A way on the grisly reefs

         Bm   G      Em           
Too many dead ends I see

            Bm       
No soul can save me, 

    A         D
The respect I lost, the measure of a man
Em Am G D Em Am G Am Em Am G D Em Am G Am Am Dm C G Am Dm C Dm Am Dm C G Am Dm C Dm [CHORUS]
Bm                           F#m
10,000 steps down, round and round

D   A            G            A     D       F#m             
One night on the town and I'm hell  bound
(Black oceans beneath)
          Bm                                F#m
          All on board the White Pearl have died
(Come and swallow me)
D       A         G              
Coastal reef come claim my life

A     D        F#m             Bm                       F#m
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me
(My little tower, seal my fate)
D       A         G
Help me pay back, end their hate

A     D        F#m             Bm                         F#m
Black oceans beneath, come and swallow me!
(One direction, down, down, down)
D           A         G            
Pitch black night for my old town

A     D        F#m             Bm
Black oceans beneath shall now swallow me
