The Ruins Of My Life

	  		Em                                G                          
The land was then young, I was fighting for it like everyone 
Em                        G 
Ready to die for the cause, for my King, for my Lord 
Em                      G 
You were my reason to live, to fight another day 
Em                         G 
You were the only one for me, and you were only for me 

F       G              Am 
Another year I would be gone 
F           G              Am 
The war was leading us so far apart 
F          G                A#  
I built a house to keep you there 
        C              D#     F 
Waiting for me, waiting 

G        Em          A           D  
No one remembers my face nor my name 
       G         Em          A  
In a dream, I'd stay here forever 
      G          Em     Bm              D  
Headstone on my grave, words carved in vain 
            G         Em 
All these wounds only heal when I'm home 

Em                          G 
The Taste of their blood in my mouth, and the scent of victory 
Em                    G 
Scarred my soul for life, this man was not me 
Em                       G 
Love is a game for the weak to play, they said 
I loved and love made me many times stronger 

F        G              Am 
Another year I would be gone 
F            G            Am 
The war was leading us so far apart 
F          G                  A#  
I built a house to keep you there 
        C             D#      F 
Waiting for me, waiting 

G        Em          A          D  
No one remembers my face nor my name 
       G        Em          A  
In a dream, I'd stay here forever 
     G           Em      Bm            D  
Headstone on my grave, words carved in vain 
            G           Em 
All these wounds only heal when I'm home

"Everything ends...Everything dies 
Bm 
Now I know the Legends only lived in his lies" 

Em            Bm          G                       A 
My long and winding road, river and trees by the hills we lived on 
Em              Bm               G         A 
The ruins of my life I find, a signet ring on the ashes 
Em         Bm                   G                  A 
I know my Lord betrayed me, my reason to live was taken away 
Em           Bm               G            A 
I carry my loved one to the hills we loved, for the last time 

G                Bm  
I close your eyes, kiss you goodbye 
G                D 
The only one who ever loved me 
G                     Bm              G          D 
I'm crushed inside, darling, my life...It shall end here

         A  G#m F#m    B/D#  Em 
Now the Darkness covers me
