Whats Left Of Me

Avantasia


Tom: Dm

F               Am
I think of the days
                      Bb
I was thrilled by this road ahead
F                    Am            Bb
When the moment won over what was to come
Dm                  Am              Bb                 C
Not afraid of the distance but the distance afraid of me
      Dm     C        Bb
Everytime I made it there I found nothing
Bb
The distance was gone

[Chorus]
F                   C
Now, I don't wanna fade
                   Bb   Am Gm
But I ain't gonna run
F                C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm         C        Bb      C
God, what have you done to you and me
F              C                 Bb  Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
F                   C
No road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm      C         Bb
Father don't you see in front of you
Bb
Is what the chase has left of me

[Verse 2]
F             Am
If only they told me
          Bb
What the kerbside was hiding away
F                      Am                       Bb
Where the angels from high street didn't want to go
Dm                   Am
And a heartbeat is forced
                  Bb                C
To resign to the glory of a commonplace
      Dm  C
I am jaded

[Pre-chorus]
   Bb
I don't wanna see what's becoming of me
Bb
Here's a bit! Then spare me this sight now…
Bb                                    C
Cut it out I'm tired of the future myself

[Chorus]
F              C
I don't wanna fade
                   Bb   Am Gm
But I ain't gonna run
F                C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm         C        Bb      C
God, what have you done to you and me
F              C                 Bb  Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
F                   C
No road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm      C         Bb
Father don't you see in front of you
Bb
Is what's left of me

[Verse 3]
Gb        Bbm           Fm
God and glory torn to pieces,
Ab      Ebm                        Bbm
No no, it's just the spirit of the times
Gb              Bbm                 Fm
I'm drawn to a flame that won't release me
   Ab
Release me!
    Ebm                            Bbm
And I see a thousand who wait in line

[Solo]
Gb Bbm Fm Ab Ebm Bbm
Gb Bbm Fm Ab Ebm Bb

[Chorus]
F              C
I don't wanna face
                     Bb   Am Gm
what I ain't gonna stand
F                C
I'm resting my head on these stones
Dm         C        Bb      C
God, what have you done to you and me
F              C                 Bb  Am Gm
I'm tired of scaring the future away
     F                    C
The dark road ahead, the fire is dead
Dm      C         Bb
Father don't you see what you have made of me
