Long ago when I was young

Am F

I fell for love, but nevermore

Oh my god

Am C

Oh my god

C Am F

But back when we were seventeen

Am F

And every touch was kerosene

Oh my god

Am F Am G

Oh my god

Am F

Gave my soul

C G

But never could see you selling your heartbeats

Am F

Held your ghost

C G

But never could breach the walls of your belfry

Am F

I fell into your carousel

C G

Spinning in an empty well

Am F

With no way out...

C Am F

To your altarpiece, then effigy

Am F

I came in on my knees

Just calling your name...

Oh my god

Am F

Oh my god

C Am F

And the mighty oaks that held our home

Am F

Just never seemed to grow

And they're fallin away

Oh my god

Am F Am G

Oh my god

Am F

Gave my soul

C G

But never could see you selling your heartbeats

Am F

Held your ghost

C G

But never could breach the walls of your belfry

Am F

I fell into your carousel

C G

Spinning in an empty well

Am F C

With no way out....

Oh I can see the morning coming, I can feel it, I can feel it!

So I'll be riding on your frozen horse

Like a soldier leaving on his way to war

C Am G C

Singin' "I won't die today"

And if I find you on the western front

I will, I will know I've won

C Am G C

I will know that all my love remains

Am G C

All my love remains

Am G C

All my love remains
