Chords with lyrics

This song is normally played in C#(?), but for this acoustic-version I think it fits better in G.

Verse 1:
G+G        D MajorD     A augmentedA
  It's getting dark too soon
    E minorEm
  A augmentedA threatening silence
G+G        D MajorD   A augmentedA
  surrounding me. A augmentedA wind
     E minorEm
  comes up from the islands.
G+G         D MajorD        A augmentedA
  When distance fades to stormy grey,
             E minorEm
  Washed out from the deep of the ocean,
G+G        D MajorD         A augmentedA
  Here I will stand to face your wrath,
 E minorEm     N.C.        G+G
  While all the others are praying

Chorus 1:
            D MajorD        A augmentedA
  Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
             E minorEm       G+G
  Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
            D MajorD        A augmentedA
  Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
             E minorEm       G+G
  Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime

         D MajorD      A augmentedA
  No rain can wash away my tears
        E minorEm
  No wind can soothe my pain
G+G        D MajorD         A augmentedA
  You made me doubt, you made me fear
         E minorEm
  But now I'm not the same

G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
  You took my wife, my unborn son
          E minorEm
  Torn into the deep of the ocean
G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
  I don't pretend that I love you
          E minorEm       N.C.
  Cause there is nothing left to lose

Verse 2:
G+G          D MajorD       A augmentedA
  And when silence comes back to me
      E minorEm
  I find myself feeling lonely
G+G            D MajorD        A augmentedA
  Standing here on the shores of destiny
      E minorEm
  I find myself feeling lonely

G+G            D MajorD        A augmentedA
  I had a life to give, many dreams to live
            E minorEm              G+G
  Don't you know that you're losing so much this time?
        D MajorD         A augmentedA
  Beyond the waves, I will be free

  While all the others are praying

  Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
            D MajorD        A augmentedA
  Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
             E minorEm       G+G
  Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime

  Cause there is nothing left to lose

G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
  The love in you, it does not burn
        E minorEm
  There is no lesson you can learn
G+G         D MajorD         A augmentedA
  And there are sounds you cannot hear
         E minorEm
  And there are feelings you can't feel
G+G           D MajorD         A augmentedA
  Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
             E minorEm
  Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
G+G        D MajorD        A augmentedA
  I don't pretend that I love you
         E minorEm        G+G
