Intro: A  F#m  D (4x) 

Verse: 

C#m                     D 
I started out so starry-eyed  
                         A F#m D (2x) 
Full of hope and wonder  
C#m                      D 
And I wore flowers in my hair  
                         A F#m D (2x) 
Not aware I'd been defiled  

Bridge: 

E      D                 E           D 
(Every time I see you) I know it's going down  
E        D               E       D 
(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around  


A  Bm        D 
I know this ride, you must be there by my side  
A  Bm      D           
You going down, I must be descending  

(play Intro and Verse like before) 

I didn't want to play the song  
That gave people so much hope  
I turned my back and turned away  
Here's the rope that made me choke  

(Every time I see you) I know it's going down  
(How can I believe you?) Karma comes around  



D       A            Bm    (repeat) 
You can see it in my eyes  
You can read it on my face  
You can hear it as I cry  
God, I hope it's not too late  
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?  
Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 

Solo: F#m  E  Bm  D (2x) 

D       A            Bm    
You can see it in my eyes  
                      D 
You can read it on my face 
        A            Bm 
You can hear it as I cry  
                         D     A 
God, I hope it's not too late  
      Bm                           D      A 
Can I try to make it up to you somehow?  
      Bm             A  F#m  (E)   D 
Can I try to make it up to you somehow? 

       A               Bm 
Now my race is finally run 
                       D  
And as I tumble to the sun 
          A                 Bm  
All these dreams I can't achieve 
           A  F#m     (E)  D 
Brought me crashing to my knees  
My descent has now begun  
All the music left undone  
My world, it is descending 

D A Bm A F#m (E) D
