[Intro] Bb5 C5 D5 C5 Bb5 F/A G5 F/A Bb5 C5 D5 Bb5 C5 D5 C5 Bb5 F5 G5 F/A Bb5 C5 D5 [Verse]

Here I s^D5tand at the banks where the river of time feeds the sea Oh, ^Bb5I delve into the vault Of my m^F/Aind, a me^C5mory When a h^D5eart full of trust had not yet waned to a weak Paling c^Bb5rescent in the sky Pouring d^F/Aown its fading b^Ceam

[Pre-Chorus]

^G5I stand here all al^A5one I came here on my o^Bb5wn To reginite the inner b^Bb5laze

[Chorus]

^G5Against the ^A5wind, against the g^E5rain Open v^C5isor - a^D5rrows r^G5ain I'm ^A5me and I do it my ^E5way ^C5 ^D5 ^G5Don't you t^A5ell me what to ^E5be Through my e^C5yes you c^D5annot s^G5ee I'm ^C5me and I'm going ^D5my way ^E5Against the w^C5ind I'm going my^D5 way

[Verse 2]

I've been ^D5out for the grail they contest with hubris and hate I've seen s^Bb5carily faceless things Where they s^F/Acream, but never h^C5ear Scraggy f^D5ingers they scratch over maps with all kingdoms displayed The e^Bb5nticer never sleeps Breathing d^F/Aoubt into your ^C5ear

[Pre-Chorus]

^G5I stand here all al^A5one I came here on my o^Bb5wn And you will not take ^Bb5hold on my creed

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

^AmAnd if you don't like what I ^Gdo Then it's not ^Emmade f^Dor yo^Cu And if you ^Amget exasperated With what^F5 I will, or I may, or I say - it's my way!

[Solo] D5 C5 D5 C5 G5 D5 Bb5 F5 [Pre-Chorus]

A thousand s^G5tars melt ^A5with the s^D5ea Elysian f^Bb5ields rev^C5eal to m^F5e This is the ^G5air I n^A5eed to breathe - ^Bb5oh! ^C5

[Chorus]
