[F]
I am waiting on a mountaintop for the moment that the sky will strike.
My apologies are forever lost, soon to ashes in a flash of light.
Miles away from [Bb] me, all the things [Db] that I've found forever [F] in the waste of time.
My [Bb] intentions, like a sweet [Db] roof, only bring to [F] me a burning light.
Not just [Ab] [G] forever [Bb]
inside, [F] I yield to [Ab] the [G] stars and [Eb] their flight.
[F] Oh, it's a [Abm] good [G] time to [Db] teach my [C] dark heart [Eb] to [C]
[Db] fail.
I
[Eb] say,
[Db] I'm blown
[Eb] away.

[Db] [F]
I am [Bb] waiting, like a single [Db] moon, lost forever [F] in a storm of light.
My intentions, [Bb] like a sweet [Db] roof, only bring to [F] me a burning light.
Not just [Ab] [G] forever
[Eb] inside, [F] I yield to [Ab] the [G]
[Eb] stars and their flight.
[F] Oh, it's a [Ab] good [G] time to [Db] teach my [C] dark heart to fail.
[Db] Here [Eb] I am, [Db] falling, my
[Eb] last step.
[Db] I am [Eb] not
[Db] rising and [Bb] falling, [Eb] there's nothing to stop [Fm] [Bb]
[Db] [Fm]
me.
I am [Bb] ready
[Db] [D] for the [F] world.
[Db] [F]
Throw [Bb] me down,
[Db] throw [F] me down, throw [Bb] me down.
It's been [Db] raining, throw [F] me down, and I will pay.
Throw [Bb] me down, for what's come to [Db] me.
Throw [F] me down, I will not be lied.
Throw [Bb] me down, I will not be [Db] weighed.
Throw [F] me down, on a mountaintop.
Throw [Bb] me down, on a [Dbm] mountaintop.
[F] It's been raining, like a [Ab] frozen [G]
[Eb] moon, lost forever inside.
[F] I yield to [Ab] the [G] stars [Eb] and their flight.
[F] Oh, it's [Ab] a good time [Db] to teach my dark [Bb] heart to [C]
[Db] fail.
[Eb]
[Db] Here I am, falling, my
[Eb] last step.
[Db] I am
[Eb] not
[Db] rising and falling, [Eb] there's nothing to stop
