verse 1
Dm
Once upon a time I was the scribe of all my dreams
A# Gm C
I’ve seen the years turn into dust, now feel the rust in me
Dm
I’ve walked the shores of Avalon, I’ve seen the seasons change
A# Gm C
I’ve laughed and cried, I’ve lived and died, but only on the page
Bridge
A# Gm
Now all I have, all I am
Dm
All I ever was is here, on the page
A#
It’s all the same, it never mattered anyway
C
It’s all a lie so let it burn
Dm A# Am A#
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
Dm A# F C
As the light of last candle flickers away
Dm A# F C
If the story is over, this chapter my last
A# Gm Dm
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
verse 2
Dm
I hope It’s not too late to learn to live and learn to love
A# Gm C
I yearn to fight, to turn the tide before the tender dark
Dm
For I never drew the sword from stone, there’s no Helen in my Troy
A# Gm C
I stand alone, I stand forgotten, just gazing into the void
Bridge
A# Gm
Come night, test my will, test my soul
Dm
Test my faith and test my heart, torn apart
A#
Make me strong, make me whole again and
A# Gm Dm
Guide through the dark ‘til the morning come
Em C Bm C
All empty words and all rhymes will fade
Em C G D
As the light of last candle flickers away
Em C G D
If the story is over, this chapter my last
C Am Em
Let it be my best one, let it be my own
