[Verse 1]
AmA stone's throw from JeAm/Crusalem
Fmaj7I walked a lonely Eaugmile in the moonlight
AmAnd though a million sAm/Ctars were shining
Fmaj7My heart was lost on a Eaugdistant planet
AmThat whirls around the Am/CApril moon
Fmaj7Whirling in an arc of sEaugadness
AmI'm lost without youAm/C  
EI'm lost without yoEaugu
Fmaj7Though all my kingdoms Dm7turn to sand
And Adim7fall into the sEea
I'm Ammad about youAm/G  
I'm Fmad aboEut Amyou
[Verse 2]
AmAnd from the dark seAm/Ccluded valleys
Fmaj7I heard the ancient Eaugsongs of sadness
AmBut every step I Am/Cthought of you
Fmaj7Every footstep Eaugonly you
AmAnd every star a Am/Cgrain of sand
Fmaj7The leavings of a dried up Eaugocean
AmTell me, how much Am/Clonger?
EHow much Eauglonger?
AmThey say a city in the Am/Cdesert lies
Fmaj7The vanity of an Eaugancient king
AmBut the city lies in Am/Cbroken pieces
Fmaj7Where the wind howls and the Eaugvultures sing
AmThese are the works of Am/Cman
Fmaj7This is the sum of our amEaugbition
AmIt would make a prison of my Am/Clife
EIf you became aEaugnother's wife
With Fmaj7every prison Dm7blown to dust
My Adim7enemies walk Efree
I'm Ammad about youAm/G  
I'm Fmad aboEut Amyou
[Bridge]
Cadd9And I have never in my lifeE7#5  
Felt more alone than Asus4I do now
BbAlthough I claim dominions over Fall I see
C/EIt means nothing to me
There are no vDm7ictories
In all our Adim7histories, without lEoveE7  
[Verse 3]
AmA stone's throw from JeAm/Crusalem
Fmaj7I walked a lonely Eaugmile in the moonlight
AmAnd though a million sAm/Ctars were shining
Fmaj7My heart was lost on a Eaugdistant planet
AmThat whirls around the Am/CApril moon
Fmaj7Whirling in an arc of sEaugadness
AmI'm lost without youAm/C  
EI'm lost without yoEaugu
And Fmaj7though you hold the Dm7keys to ruin
Of Adim7everything I Esee
With Fmaj7every prison Dm7blown to dust,
My eAdim7nemies walk Efree
Though Fmaj7all my kingdoms Dm7turn to sand
And Adim7fall into the Esea
I'm Ammad about youAm/G  
I'm Fmad about EyouAm
