[Verse]

Dm           Am        Bb       Gm
She's locked up with a spinning wheel
             Dm Am               Bb      Gm
And she can't recall what it was like to feel
           Dm   Am            Bb    Gm
She says, this room is gonna be my grave
             Dm     Am      Bb   Dm
And there is no one who can save me
         Am          Bb      Gm
She sits down to her colored thread
          Dm     Am        Bb       Gm
She knows lovers waking up in their beds
          Dm   Am         Bb        Gm
She says, "How long can I live this way
         Dm     Am    Bb            F
Is there no one I can pay to let me go


[Pre-Chorus]

                G
'Cause I'm half sick of shadows
Dm        F7      Am
I want to see the sky
     C                         Bb
Everyone else can watch as the sun goes down
             C
So why can't I


[Chorus]

D        Em7
And it's raining
        D            G
And the stars are falling from the sky
        Bb
And the wind
               C         D
And the wind I know it's cold
          Em7
I've been waiting
        D          G
For the day I will surely die
         Bb
And it's here
                  Am        Gm
And it's here for I've been told
                Am       Bb
That I'll die before I'm old
               C         Dm
And the wind I know it's cold

[Verse]

Dm        Am        Bb       Gm
She looks up to the mirrored glass
         Dm         Am        Bb    Gm
She sees a handsome horse and rider pass
          Dm    Am          Bb    Gm
She says, that man's gonna be my death
             Dm    Am   Bb           Dm
'Cause he is all I ever wanted in my life
      Am              Bb      Gm
And I know he doesn't know my name
         Dm      Am        Bb      Gm
And that all the girls are all the same to him
Dm             Am             Bb      Gm
But still I've got to get out of this place
         Dm          Am    Bb           F
'Cause I don't think I can face another night


[Pre-Chorus]

               G
Where I'm half sick of shadows
Dm          F7      Am
And I can't see the sky
     C                         Bb
Everyone else can watch as the tide comes in
             C
So why can't I


[Chorus]

D        Em7
And it's raining
        D            G
And the stars are falling from the sky
        Bb
And the wind
               C         D
And the wind I know it's cold
          Em7             D          G
I've been waiting for the day I will surely die
         Bb
And it's here
                  Am        Gm
And it's here for I've been told
                Am       Bb
That I'll die before I'm old
               C         F
And the wind I know it's cold


[Bridge]

            C
But there's willow trees
    Dm              C7         Bb         F
And little breezes, waves, and walls, and flowers
            C               Dm
And there's moonlight every single night
   Am         Gm       F
As I'm locked in these towers
        Bb
So I'll meet my death
         F7                                Dm
But with my last breath I'll sing to him I love
          Bb             F
And he'll see my face in another place
                        Dm
And with that the glass above


[Verse]

        Am     Bb      Gm
Cracked into a million bits
        Dm    Am          Bb    Gm
And she cried out, so the story fits
         Dm           Am         Bb   Gm
But then I could have guessed it all along
           Dm         Am             Bb               Dm
'Cause now some drama queen is gonna write a song for me
         Am          Bb     Gm
She went down to her little boat
        Dm        Am          Bb     Gm
And she broke the chain and began to float away
Dm         Am          Bb     Gm
And as the blood froze in her veins she said
Dm        Am     Bb                F
Well then that explains a thing or two


[Pre-Chorus]

              G
'Cause I know I'm the cursed one
Dm         F7       Am
I know I'm meant to die
     C                           Bb
Everyone else can watch as their dreams untie
             C
So why can't I


[Chorus]

D        Em7             D            G
And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky
        Bb
And the wind
               C         D
And the wind I know it's cold
          Em7             D          G
I've been waiting for the day I will surely die
         Bb
And it's here
                  Am        Gm
And it's here for I've been told
                 Am      Bb
That I'll die before I'm old
               C         D
And the wind I know it's cold
         Em7             D            G
And it's raining and the stars are falling from the sky
        Bb
And the wind
               C         D
And the wind I know it's cold
          Em7             D          G
I've been waiting for the day I will surely die
         Bb
And it's here
                  Am        Gm
And it's here for I've been told
                 Am      Bb
That I'll die before I'm old
               C         Dm
And the wind I know it's cold
