Bb  Dm  F  C

[Verse]
Am       Bb
I'm sorry dear
F                       C    Dm
I know I've failed you once again
Bb                    F                  C
Tell me what's this truth that can't be told?
Am         Bb
I can't go on
F                  C      Dm
It is not what it used to be
Bb                  F
It's just life you know
                 C
I've lost the dream

[Pre-chorus]
Dm          G  Dm            G
The feeble fire of a broken soul
Dm      G         Am            G
Life expires it flickers in the cold

[Chorus]
C                        G
All this seems so never ending
                  Am
Drifting with the wind
                      F
The writing's on the wall
               C
As daylight breaks
                 G
A thousand fallen angels
                     Am
Shed their tears in vain
                      F
Against the wind the march goes on

[Verse]
Am        Bb
When I'm alone
F                    C     Dm
I cry and hope that you're ok
Bb               F                  C
I know what I should do but always fail
Dm                            Am               G
Words won't help you and the guilt is mine to bear
   F            Dm
I see my bitter end my love
Am         G
This love won't change

[Bridge]
C
And as the days grow dark
     Am
As hope gives way to night
     F
A darkness settles over me
      C                 G
Just one shred left of light
         C
This love...

[Chorus]
C                        G
All this seems so never ending
                  Am
Whispers on the wind
                      F
The writing's on the wall
               C
As daylight breaks
                 G
A thousand fallen angels
                       Am
Spread their wings and soar
                F
Into the wind till they fall

[Pre-chorus]
Dm          G
And feel the fire
Dm                 G
Burning in their souls
Dm         G
To find desire
  Am               G
A treasure in the cold

[Chorus]
C                        G
All this seems so never ending
                  Am
Whispers in the wind
                      F
The writings on the wall
               C
As daylight breaks
                 G
A thousand fallen angels
                       Am
Spread their wings and sing

Of hope that soars
     F
As daylight breaks

[Outro]
