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
