A
When stars are born.
Bm/A
Are they cast out?
E D A
To wander cold and lonely lost in space.
Cdim7
A loveless point of light
Bm
That can't return.
Bm7 E
Forever fixed within one place.
A Bm/A
When love is lost and dreams are cast.
E D A
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die.
Cdim7
When hands that reach out are betrayed.
Bm Bm7 E
How can my tortured soul survive?
C#m F#m
There's only one thing left.
D E
And that's the one thing that I needed most of all.
C#m F#m
But the freedom that I've gained
Bm Bm/A G G/F# E
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore.
A C#m7 F#m F#m/E
And I'm borne high on these waves.
D A/C# E
Swept by the wind and alone.
A C#m7 D E
Sail me away, carry me back to my home.
D
I'm tired, I've been torn.
E/D C#7 C#7/E F#m
A cruel wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
F#m/E Bm
Oh sail me away.
D/E E Dadd9
Carry me back to my home.
A
These scars run deep.
Bm/A E D A
The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away.
Cdim7 A
My callous shadows mock.
Bm Bm7 E
And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay.
C#m F#m
The moment time stands still
D E
Is the moment that the writing's on the walls.
C#m F#m
The words are clear as ringing bells
Bm Bm/A G G/F# E
That pride is present right before the fall.
A C#m7 F#m F#m/E
And I'm borne high on these waves.
D A/C# E
Swept by the wind and alone.
A C#m7 D E
Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.
D
I'm tired, I've been torn.
E/D C#7 C#7/E F#m
A cruel wretched storm churns like a gail in my bones.
F#m/E Bm
Oh sail me away.
D/E E Dadd9
Carry me back to my home.
F#m/E Bm
Sail me away!
D/E E Dadd9 A
Carry me back to my home!
