When stars are born.

A loveless point of light

Bridge
C#m F#m
There's only one thing left.
D E
And that's the one thing that I needed most of all.
C#m F#m
But the freedom that I've gained
Bm Bm/A G G/F# E
Is the loss that led me aimless to the shore.
A C#m7 F#m F#m/E
And I'm borne high on these waves.
D A/C# E
Swept by the wind and alone.
A C#m7 D E
Sail me away, carry me back to my home.
D
I'm tired, I've been torn.

A cruel wretched storm churns like a gale in my bones.
F#m/E Bm
Oh sail me away.
D/E E Dadd2
Carry me back to my home.
verse 3
A
These scars run deep.
Bm/A E D A
The future holds a hunger for an innocence that passed away.
Cdim7 A
My callous shadows mock.
Bm Bm7 E
And make it clear some things were not enough to make them stay.
Bridge
C#m F#m
The moment time stands still

Is the moment that the writing's on the walls.

The words are clear as ringing bells
Bm Bm/A G G/F# E
That pride is present right before the fall.
A C#m7 F#m F#m/E
And I'm borne high on these waves.

Swept by the wind and alone.

Oh, sail me away, carry me back to my home.

I'm tired, I've been torn.

Carry me back to my home.

Sail me away!
D/E E Dadd2 A
Carry me back to my home!
