The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire

And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere
       GbGb        Gb/Bb   GbGb    DbDb
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know
   DbDb
The mind is poison

 Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized

With drawbridges closing

Straight to the valley of the great divide


Bridge:
            DbDb
Out where the dreams all hide
        AbAb     GbGb
Out where the wind don't blow
       Ab/C    BbmBbm
Out here the good girls die (die)
     AbAb    DbDb
And the sky won't snow
       F minorFm     GbGb
Out here the bird don't sing
       AbAb     GbGb

Out here the good girls die (die)


Chorus:

Ah don't you know the kingdom's under siege
    F minorFm
And everybody needs you

GbGb        F minorFm      F7/A  BbmBbm
 Is there still magic in the midnight sun
      Ab/C         DbDb
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
     F minorFm           GbGb
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
        AbAb    DbDb
Out where the dreams all hide
