Savatage - When the crowds are gone

^Cm I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so ^Flong Like faded photographs, for^Cmgotten songs ^{Gm Cm} And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows^F through Please believe me what I ^Cmtell you is true

^BbWhere's the lights, turn 'em ^Amon again ^GmOne more night to belie^Fve and then ^EbAnother note for my requiem ^DA memory to carry on ^DThe story's^Cm over^D when the crowds have ^Gmgone ^{Eb F} Ooooh ^{Eb Dm Cm D}

^CmAll my friends have been crucified Made life a long suic^Fide true ^Eb Guess we nev^Der figured ^Cmout the rules

Gonna play on till the final re^Fel's through ^Eb And read the^Dm credits from a ^Cmdifferent view

^BbWhere's the lights, turn 'em ^Amon again ^GmOne more night to belie^Fve and then ^EbAnother note for my requiem ^DA memory to carry on ^DThe story's^Cm over^D when the crowds have ^Gmgone ^Eb

^Bb When the crowds are g^Amone ^Gm And I'm all alo^Fne ^Eb Playing the saddest song ^F Now that the lights are gone ^Bb Turn them on again ^{Am Gm} One more time for me my fr^Fiend ^Eb Turn 'em on again ^F

^Bb I never wanted to know Never wanted to see ^Am I was^Gmted my time Till time wasted me^F Never^Eb wanted to go, always wanted to stay 'Cause the ^Fpersons I am, are the parts that I play So I ^Bbplot and I plan Hope and I scheme ^Am To the ^Gmlure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams ^F I'm^Eb holding on tight, to a world gone astray As they ^Fcharge me for years I can no longer ^Bbpay ^Gm When the ^Fcrowds are gone ^{Eb F}

^BbTurn 'em on again Turn 'em ^Amon again ^Gm Turn 'em on again Turn 'em ^Fon again ^Eb Turn 'em on again Turn 'em on ag^Fain

^Bb I never wanted to know Never wanted to see ^Am I was^Gmted my time Till time wasted me^F Never^Eb wanted to go, always wanted to stay 'Cause the ^Fperson I am, are the parts I ^Bbplay ^Am I ^Gmplaaaay ^F I ^Ebplaaaay ^FAaah

^Bb And the lights Turn then off my friend ^F And the ghosts

^Eb Cause in the dark ^F It's easier... to ^Bbseeeee...^Gm. ^{Eb F Bb}
