[Intro]
G#m  E  C#m  F#
G#m  E  C#m  F#sus4  F#
[Verse 1]
G#m                                  D#m
There was a time when we sailed on together
D#7                                    G#m
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
E                                       B
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
  C#m            A                         D#sus4  D#
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
G#m                              D#m
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
    D#7                              G#m
And I didn't know you had made other plans
    E                                   B
You had me believe we were meant for forever
  C#m               A                           D#sus4  D#
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
[Chorus]
G#m     E            B
Lorelei, my ship has passed you by
            C#m                          D#sus4      D#
And all you promised me to show the way, you led me astray
            G#m     E             B
You were my Lorelei, what kind of fool was I
           C#m                                D#sus4       D#
'Cause I believed in every word you said, and now I wonder why
    G#m  E  C#m  F#
Lorelei
G#m  E  C#m  F#
[Verse 2]
G#m                                D#m
There was a time when we held one another
D#7                                   G#m
Bearing our souls in the light of the flame
E                                      B
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
C#m                        A                    D#sus4  D#
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name
[Chorus] (key change)

G#m                                    D#m
Now there's a light that shines on the river
D#7                           G#m
Blinding my eyes from so far away
E                                     B
Shot through the heart but now I know better
   C#m                A                      D#sus4  D#
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
