Once had a dream that we shared on the way
E                                         B
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
C#m               A                        Eb
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay

Verse:
G#m                              Ebm
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
    Eb                                G#m
And I didn’t know you had made other plans
     E                                 B
You had me believe we were meant for forever
C#m                  A                          Eb
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

You led me astray
             G#m    E
You were my Lorelei
             B           B
What kind of fool was I 
            C#m            C#m
'Cause I believed in every word you said

And now I wonder why

Baring our souls in the light of the flame

Those were the days now I’ve lost my illusions

    G#m                                Ebm
Now there’s a light that shines on the river
Eb                           G#m
Blinding my eyes from so far away
E                                      B
Shot through the heart but now I know better
   C#m               A                        Eb
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
