[Verse 1]
Dm                Dsus2               Dsus4      Dm
Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams

A#                          A#addE      Gm               Am7
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me

Dm                Dsus2               Dsus4      Dm
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change

A#                          A#addE      Gm                    Am7
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page
[Bridge] A#addE Gm Now all I have, all I am
                  Dsus2 
All I ever was is here, on the page

                                         A#
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway

                         F    C
It’s all a lie so let it burn
[Chorus]
Dm          A#        Am             A#
All empty words and all rhymes will fade

Dm              A#          F         C
As the light of last candle flickers away

Dm              A#           F        C
If the story is over, this chapter my last

A#                      Gm          Dm
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
[Verse 2]
Dm                Dsus2                Dsus4              Dm
I hope It’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love

A#                       A#addE      Gm               Am7
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark

Dm                Dsus2                   Dsus4                Dm
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy

A#                         A#addE      Gm               Am7
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void
[Bridge] A#addE Gm Come night, test my will, test my soul
                          Dsus2
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
Make me strong, make me whole again and
A#                                    F    C
Guide through the dark ‘til the morning come
[Chorus]
Em       C        Hm            C
All empty words and all rhymes will fade

        Em           C      G        D
As the light of last candle flickers away

        Em      C      G              D
If the story is over, this chapter my last

       C               Am          Em
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
