Swan Song

Intro: 
C#m C#m C#m A B 
C#m C#m C#m A B G#m 

 
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" 
 

 
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 
 

 
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 
C#m  C#m  C#m  A  B  G#m  A  F#m  G#m 

 
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" 
 

 
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 
 

 
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 
 

 
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

Em       D         Em

Uh, shes scratching and burning my soul, oh 
Em 
Oh
