Intro:
( E Ab C#m A ) x4


E           Ab
There was a time

C#m          A
I was yours, you were mine

E               Ab               C#m  A
We shone in the light of the day

E             Ab
No puzzle, no games

C#m               A
straight-talking, as they say

E             Ab              C#m  A
Nothing could stand in our way


F#
Two people in a trance are

A
two fighters in a dance

     F#
They respect each other's tears

A                    B
A fighter's pride is built on fear


chorus:

E Ab    C#m
I, I'm amazed

         A
I let it slip away

E Ab    C#m
I, I am crazed

             A
it's running through my veins

F#              A
Everything that rises

             ( E Ab C#m A ) x2
has to fall


E           Ab
Somewhere I read

C#m          A             E
the truth is better left unsaid

              Ab           C#m    A
Avoid all the hurt and the pain

E                Ab
I'm a crooked companion

C#m          A
You'd better watch your step

E      Ab             C#m   A
when I take you out to play


F#
Drink from this golden cup

A
The days aren't long enough

F#
Hoist up the scarlet sails

A                       B
I jumped to shore as we moved away

(chorus)

( E Ab C#m A ) x4
F#  A
F#  A B

final chorus (finish on A):

E Ab    C#m
I, I'm amazed

         A
I let it slip away

E Ab    C#m
I, I am crazed

             A
it's running through my veins

F#              A
Everything that rises...
