[G#m] [D#m] [F#]
[E] [C#m] I had a way [G#m] [D#m] [F#] then, losing [E] it all on my [C#m] own
I had a heart [B] then, [F#] but the queen has [E] been [C#m] overthrown
And I'm not [G#m] [B] sleeping [F#] now, the [E] dark is too [C#m] hard to beat
And I'm not [G#m] [B] keeping up, this dread [E] that needs [C#m] to push me
You [G#m] show the lights that [F#] stop me, turn to stone
[E] You shine it [C#m] when I'm alone
And so [G#m] I tell myself [F#] that I'll be strong
[E] The dreaming [C#m] when they're gone
Cause [G#m] they're calling, [F#] calling, calling me home
[E] Calling, [C#m] calling, calling home
You [G#m] show the lights that stop [F#] me, turn to stone
[E] You shine it [C#m] when I'm alone
[G#m] The lord [F#] says I play
[E] within my [C#m] head
Touch [G#m] my own [F#] skin, and hope [E] there's still breathing
[C#m] And [G#m] I think back [F#] to when my [E] brother and [C#m] my sisters slept
[G#m] In a [F#] maze, the [E] only time [C#m] I feel safe
You show [G#m] the lights that stop [F#] me, turn to stone
[E] You shine it [C#m] when I'm alone
And so [G#m] I tell myself [F#] that I'll be strong
[E] The dreaming when [C#m] they're gone
Cause they're [G#m] calling, [F#] calling, calling me home
[E] Calling, [C#m] calling, calling home
You show [G#m] the lights that stop [F#] me, turn to stone
[E] You shine it when [C#m] I'm alone

[G#m] You show the lights that stop [F#] me, turn to stone
[E] You shine it when [C#m] I'm alone
And so [G#m] I tell myself [F#] that I'll be strong
[E] The dreaming when [C#m] they're gone
Cause they're [G#m] calling, calling, [F#] calling me home
[E] Calling, [C#m] calling, calling home
You show [G#m] the lights that stop [F#] me, turn to stone
