Abm                                  Ebm
There was a time when we sailed on together
Eb7                                    Abm 
once had a dream that we shared on the way
E                                         B
there was a place where we used to seek shelter
C#m               A                        Eb 
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
Abm                                Ebm
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
Eb7                                    Abm 
and I didn't know you had made other plans
E                                         B
and had me believe we were meant for forever
C#m                   A                          Eb 
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

E              B 
My ship has passed you by
                C#m 
and though you promised me to show the way
Eb 
you led me astray
              Abm
you were my lorelei
E              B
what kind of fool was I
           C#m  
cause I believed in every word you said
     Eb  
and now I wonder why

Abm                                  Ebm
There was a time when we held one another
Eb7                                    Abm 
Bearing our souls in the light of the flame
E                                         B
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
C#m                       A                        Eb 
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

Abm                                  Ebm
now there's a light that shines on the river
Eb7                          Abm 
Blinding my eyes from so far away
E                                        B
Shot through the heart but now I know better
C#m                  A                        Eb 
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
