[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

[Reintro]
C#m  C#m  C#m  A  B

[Verse 2]
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
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

[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

           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

To Figure Out By Ear)
