Intro:
(E G# C#m A) x4


E           G#
There was a time

C#m          A
I was yours, you were mine

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

E             G#
No puzzle, no games

C#m               A
straight-talking, as they say

E             G#              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 G#    C#m
I, I'm amazed

         A
I let it slip away

E G#    C#m
I, I am crazed

             A
it's running through my veins

F#              A
Everything that rises

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


E           G#
Somewhere I read

C#m          A             E
the truth is better left unsaid

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

E                G#
I'm a crooked companion

C#m          A
You'd better watch your step

E      G#             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 G# C#m A) x4
F#  A
F#  A B

final chorus (finish on A):

E G#    C#m
I, I'm amazed

         A
I let it slip away

E G#    C#m
I, I am crazed

             A
it's running through my veins

F#              A
Everything that rises...
