Intro: NONE 

Verse: 
  E                      F#m 
Bravely you let go of my hand 
A                            E 
I can't speak yet you understand 
                      F#m  
Where I go now, I go alone 
 A                                E 
This path I walk, these days of stone 


Pre-Chorus 
         B          E      B 
And the angels are calling 



E 
I must go away 
 A                          E 
Wait for me here, silently stay 

And don't ask me why 
F#m            A               E 
 Only believe this is not goodbye 


Verse: 
 E                         F#m 
All of my strength, all my desire 
  A                               E 
Still cannot melt this breath of fire 
                           F#m 
I go to meet some kind of test 
 A                             E 
Bury the truth that scars my chest 


Pre-Chorus 
         B          E           B        
And the angels are calling and calling 


E 
I must go away 
 A                          E 
Wait for me here, silently stay 
   
And don't ask me why 
F#m            A              E            
 Only believe this is not goodbye 


BREAK: 
   Dbm 
I gathered all my courage 
    A 
I shaved off all my fear 
           F#m 
With this banner on my shoulder 
   A 
I hold your essence near 


Pre-Chorus 
         B 
And the angels are calling  
                 E 
And calling and calling 


 
E 
I must go away 
 A                          E 
Wait for me here, silently stay 
  
And don't ask me why 
F#m            A              E 
 Only believe this is not goodbye 
F#m            A              E 
 Only believe this is not goodbye
