Chords for Trans-Siberian Orchestra - Mephistopheles' Return (lyrics)

In [Am] every life it has been said, [G] there comes a time to join the dead.
_ [F] Admit there is no second chance, and [A] join death in a final dance.
_ [Am] Cross the floor [Am] _ eternity, _ _ [G]
until the final [A] moments [G] bled.
And [F] in the dark to take his hand, accept that it [E] is _ [Ab] time [Abm] to_
_ [A] I don't know what I'm thinking, because all that I [E] see [C] is his face [E] [F] grinning.
Let me stop [A] her, please. _
I can't find an answer, for this one cannot be.
Within the [F] words of_
Let me [E] stop her.
Tell me what [F] you think, tell me what you know.
[D] Did you really, did you do [E] it?
Do you think [F] I'm scared?
Tell me does it show?
[A] Do you think I'm in deathless?
I can always_ [Am] Spring! _
_ _ _ _ There comes a time you decide, what from your [G] life will be revealed.
What scars [F] you will keep alive, _ what you [G] are willing to heal.
What can [Am] I gamble this night, _ with [C] everything [G]
that I have?
_ And can [F] I erase my life, _ or do I [G] stay here [E] and be_
Tell me what [F] you think, tell me what you know.
[A] Did you really, did you [E] do it?
Do you think [F] I'm scared?
Tell me does it show?
[Gb] I _ _ [A] _
don't know what I'm thinking, because all that I see is his face [E] grinning.
Let me stop [A] her, please.
I need to find an answer, for this one cannot be.
Within [E] the words of_
Let me stop [Am] her. _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] Don't need this path before [F] me, don't need forgotten [Dm] glory.
Don't need these threats of [E] violence, don't need eternal [Am] silence.
Don't need these midnight [F] visions, don't need to make [Dm] decisions.
Don't need to be [E] uncertain, don't need this final [Am] purpose.
Somewhere out [F] there, we are still facing.
[Dm] Don't need this path to run [E] into, don't need this fate.
I [Am] don't care, don't care if I [F] appear to the force of God.
[Dm] Don't need to be uncertain, [E] don't need this path [Am] to turn.
Don't care how many [F] minutes we've wasted, don't need this [Dm] perfect day.
I don't [E] want to lose my sight, [A] so stay.
Don't care if I appear [F] to the force of God, [Dm] so stay. _
I don't [E] want to lose my [Am] sight, so stay.
I don't care how [F] many minutes we've wasted, don't need this [Dm] perfect day.
I don't want [E] to lose my sight, so [Am] stay.
Don't care if I appear [F] to the force of God, [Dm] so stay.
I don't [E] want to lose my sight, so stay.
Now, it is too late.
This path you take.
Don't [N] want to see _ my [E] life be _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] I know what you [F] think, I know what you [A] know
I _ _ [E] think I'm [F] scared, I'm in this [Am] joke
I'm gonna set the steps in a second
[A] I _ don't know what I'm thinking
Because all that I see is [Dm] his name
Reading [E] death is [A] not release
I need to find an answer
For this one cannot be
Within [Dm] the words of [E] death is [F] not release
The cost of [G] patience
When there's no time before [F] me Of hesitation
[G]
All for this twisted [F] glory
And my salvation
[G]
The cost of how it's [F] gotten
The cost of what's [G] been
All forgotten, [E] all _ forgotten _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
