Key: F#m

Verse 1:
F#m              D
Cold stone beneath my feet
        C#m                  A
Wrapped in furs and dressing gown
 D
November night caressed my face
     C#m               E
The only fond touch I allow
F#m                    E                F#m            E
Moonlight floods my bedroom through the window where I gaze
      F#m          D               F#m
From far above the mad and merry crowd

Verse 2:
F#m                   D               C#m                  A
Candlelight and laughter warms their windows, crease their faces
D                                     F#m                E
Around the bonfire in the square, the songs of all their ages
F#m                      D             F#m            E
They're the lost and broken, I'm their keeper in the keep
D                                              F#m
But they sing words that I can't bear to speak aloud

Chorus:
F#m                     A        E
They sing of love, they sing of regret
C#m           E            F#m
Time doesn't wait for the dead
F#m                      A       E
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
C#m            E                   F#m
They sing of friends they lost to years
           F#m              E
So don't wait until your life is over
C#m            D
Say your piece now
D                       C#m        F#m
Or join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Verse 3:
F#m            D           C#m           A
Now I spend eternity with songs I never wrote
D                          F#m             E
Peace in isolation, in the fortress I call home
F#m                    D            F#m            E
Perched in a stone gesture looming lonely in the sky
D                F#m                D    E
Musing on those endless might-have-beens

Chorus:
       F#m                    A         E
While they sing of love, they sing of regret
C#m          E             F#m
Time doesn't wait for the dead
F#m                      A         E
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
C#m           E                    F#m
They sing of friends they lost to years
     F#m            E
So keep your dream alive
C#m           A
Never bend or bow
D                  C#m                   F#m
Or you'll join the lost souls in my Almosttown

Bridge:
F#m
Did I choose the wrong fate?
C#m
Will I ever know?
E
Realising too late
C#m
Don't know where to go
F#m
All those years spent dreaming, fighting
Fm                   F#m                         F#m
Never knowing why I can't deny what I have always been

Chorus:
 F#m                    A         E
They sing of love, they sing of regret
C#m          E             F#m
Time doesn't wait for the dead
F#m                      A         E
They sing of hope, they sing of fears
C#m           E                    F#m
They sing of friends they lost to years
     F#m            E
So keep your dream alive
C#m           A
Never bend or bow
D                  C#m                   F#m
Or you'll join the lost souls in my Almosttown
