This is one of my all-time favourite songs ever, this goes out to the most
special person in my life! Enjoy.

Intro: F C G
You can play this part picking every note at a time, for example:
  F           F         C        G              Dm                      G
e-----------------------------------------¦-----------------------------3-3-|
B-----------------------------------------¦-----------6-----------6-----3-3-|
G-------2-----------2---------------------¦---------7---7-------7---7---4-4-|
D-----3---3-------3---3-------------------¦-x3----7-------7---7-------7-5-5-|
A---3-------3---3-------3-3-3-2-0---------¦-----5-----------5-----------5-5-|
E-1-----------1-------------------3-3-2-0-¦-----------------------------3-3-|

(You can also just play a chord before picking each note, like play the F(133211) and 
with each note, then play a C(032010) and so on)

VERSE 1
Am                                    Dm               Am
  There is no turning back, from this unending path of mine
                           Dm               Am
  Serpentine and black, it stands before my eyes
                            Dm           Am
  To hell and back, it will lead me once more
                        Dm                    F
  It’s all i have, as i stumble in and out of grace


CHORUS - continue F
                   C           G     F
I walk through the gardens, of dying light,
                  C       G                    F
And cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the night
                C           G                       Dm
Searching for a reason, why time would’ve passed us by


vERSE 2: Am Dm

With every step i take, the less i know myself
Every vow i break, on my way towards your heart
Countless times i’ve prayed, for forgiveness But gods just laugh at my face,
And this path remains Leading me into solitude’s arms.


CHORUS 2: continue F
                  C            G        F
I see through the darkness, my way back home
                  C            G          F
The journey seems endless, but i’ll carry on
                 C         G         Dm    G
The shadows will rise and, they will fall
                        Dm      G
And our night drowns in dawn


Am Dm:
Ohhhhh,,  woooaaa
Ohhhhh,,, woooaaaa
(something like that, listen to the song, you’ll get it)

VERSE 3:
Am                                           Dm
   Amidst all tears there’s a smile,That all angels greet with an envious
 Am
 song
                                        Dm             F
   One look into stranger’s eyes, and i know where i belong


CHORUS 3: continue F

F C G, F C G, F C G Dm G Dm

I walk through the gardens, of dying light,
And cross all the rivers, deep and dark as the night
Searching for a reason, why time would’ve passed us by

I see through the darkness, my way back home
The journey seems endless, but i’ll carry on
The shadows will rise and, they will fall
And our night drowns in dawn
the shadows they rise and they, fallllll, yeah
and our night drowns in dawn... ohhh
