[Intro] C#m C#m C#m A B C#m C#m C#m A B G#m [Verse 1]
C#m                                    A        B    G#m
I stand alone as my world comes crashing down

C#m                                    A        B
Some things are never meant to be

C#m                                             A      B    G#m
Accept your fate 'cause there's no second time around

C#m                                 A         B
"It's not the stars or sky that shapes our destiny"
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m     A           G#m        B
          Just a fateful glance

               F#m E/G#  A
Just a fleeting chance in the wind

E (or E/G#)
Gone forevermore
[Chorus]
Em        G          Am
Hear my song, carry on

              C (or Am)
Through the lost and lonely air

Em         G           Dm
Still I sing, can it bring

         Am           G
All the things that I desire?

      C                       G
With you, I wouldn't change a thing

          Am                   Em
Just for you, I'd do most anything

D/F#            C/G
But now you're gone

        Em Bsus4 E5   B
And my swan song echoes on

C#m                               A     B     G#m
I walk alone, like a stranger in this town

C#m                          A      B
Is it best to fail or never try at all?

C#m                                   A      B    G#m
I face the shadows, as the sun is sinking down

C#m                               A      B
"Some rise by sin and some by virtue fall"
[Pre-Chorus]
G#m    A         G#m       B
        Just a fateful glance

             F#m  E/G#  A
Just a fleeting chance in the wind

E (or E/G#)
Gone forevermore
[Chorus]
Em          G         Am (or Dm)
Hear my song, carry on

               C (or Am)
Through the lost and lonely air

Still I sing, can it bring

         Am           G
All the things that I desire?

       C                      G

[Bridge] Em
Em                 C
Goddess of shadowy play

      Em                A         D            Em
Whose boundless power, divides the night from the day
Em Cadd9 Dadd9 Em
Em                              C
Plains of woe, eclipsed from all sight

      Em                     A         D        Em
And wrapped forever in the darkest depths of night
[Keys Solo] Em D Em

In the darkest depths of night
Em D Em
Em   D    Em            D             Am
Uh, she’s scratching and burning my soul, oh

Em
Oh
