I walk alone, the night wears a shadow
DPainted in Emsilver, Dpainted in Emgold
The B7moment ends in Emsilence, B7then the moment grows Emold
[Verse]
N.C.                 Em         Am          B7  Em  
And when she smiles, a thousand dreams surround her
DDress them in Emsecrets, Dno one can Emhold
The B7fire dies in the Emdistance, B7as the embers grow Emcold
[Chorus]
CSing Dfor me GnowAm  
All the B7world is a Emstage
CSmile, Dtake a GbowEm__Am  
From your gilded B7cage

N.C.                  Em           Am           B7  Em

DRoses with Emthorns, Djust make her Embleed
A B7fragile porcelain Emangel, B7breaks so easiEmly
