C              D     G      Dm 
They say there is no second chance 
Am             F    Dm        G 
If love should ever call your name 
C          D        G       Dm 
But when I tried to test my wings 
Am              F       Dm      G 
Fate turned and shot me down in flames 
  
  

        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not over now 
    F          Dm       G 
You don't mean what you say 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not happening 
  F       Dm       Bb        G 
I can't believe it ends this way 
  
  
C             D    G       Dm 
They say it's dangerous to fly 
Am           F      Dm         G 
Too near the sun or chase your dreams 
C          D      G         Dm 
Or dare to look behind blue eyes 
Am        F          Am        G 
To see if smiles are what they seem 
  
  

        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not over now 
    F          Dm       G 
You don't mean what you say 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not happening 
    F         Dm        Bb          G 
You missed my heart and caught the ricochet 
  
  
Bridge: 
Em 
Should I rail 
C 
Against the stars 
E       C 
Rage against the moon 
Am           F         C  G 
Or curse the faithless heavens 
Am      F        G 
For the end that comes too soon 
  

        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not over now 
    F          Dm       G 
You don't mean what you say 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not happening

I can't believe it ends this way 
  
  
 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not over now 
    F          Dm       G 
You don't mean what you say 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not happening 
  F       Dm       Bb        G 
I can't believe it ends this way 
  
  

        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not over now 
    F          Dm       G 
You don't mean what you say 
        F        C    Am 
Tell me it's not happening 
  F       Dm       Bb        G 
I can't believe it ends this way
