Evermore

I was the one who had it all;

I was the master of my (F)fate.

I never needed (G)anybody in my (Am)life;

(F)I learned the (C)truth too (Gsus)(G)late.

(C)I'll never shake away the pain.

I close my eyes, but she's still (F)there.

I let her steal into my (G)melancholy (Am)heart;

(F)it's more than (C)I can (Gsus)(G)late.

bear. Now I (F)know she'll never (C)leave me,

even (F)as she runs (C)away.

She will (F)still (E7)torment me, (Am)calm me,

(F)hurt me, (D7)move me, (D9)come what (G7sus)(G)may.

(Dm7)Wasting in my lonely (C)tower, (F)waiting by an (E7)open (Am)door,

(C)I'll fool myself she'll walk right (Ddim)in,

(C)and be with (G7sus)me (C)forevermore.

I rage against the trials of love.

I curse the fading of the (F)light.

Though she's (Am)already flown so (G)far beyond my (Am)reach,

(Fmaj7)she's never (C)out of sight.

(G7)Now I (F)know she'll never (C)leave me,

even (F)as she fades from (C)view.

She will (F)still (E7)inspire me, (Am)be a (C)part of (D7)(D9)ev'rything I (G)do.

(F)Wasting in my lonely (C)tower, (F)waiting by an (E)open (Am)door,

(Fmaj7)I'll fool myself she'll walk right (C)in,

(Dm7)and as the (Em)long, long nights (Am)(Em)begin,

(F)I'll think of (Em7)all that might have (Am)been,

(Dm)waiting (C)here for (G7)(C)evermore.
