Welcome to the end of being alone inside your mind.

[Eb] You always knew the melody [Db] but you never heard [Bbm] it rhyme.
[Eb] [Bbm]
[Ab] She's fair and she is quiet, Lord.
She doesn't look like me.
[Db] She made me love the morning.
She's [Ab] a holiday at sea.
[Eb] The New York streets are as busy as [Dbm] they always used to [Bbm] be.

[C] Oh, but all the wonders I have seen [Db] I will see a second [Bbm] time.
[Ab] From inside of the ages through your [Eb] eyes.
[Ab] And you are not an accident where no one thought it through.
[Db] The world that stood against us made [Ab] us made to fight for you.
[Eb] And when we chose your name we knew [Ab] that you'd fight the [Bbm] power too.
[Eb]
[Db] Here.
[Ab] You're nothing short of magical and beautiful to me.
I'll [Db] never hit the big time without [Ab] you.

[Eb] [Ab] Evangeline.
