Savatage - Alone You Breathe
Piano Intro:
[G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C] [G] [C]
VERSE
[G]You were never on[C]e for waiting,
[G]Still I always thought you'd wait for [C]me.
[G]And have you from your dreams awake[C]n,
[G]and from where you are what do you se[C]e?
transition: Bb A G (x2)
[G]Which of us is now in exile, [C]which in need of amnesty?
[G]Are you now but an illusion, [C]in my mind alone you breath[G].
Pre-Chorus
[C]You believed in [D]things that I would[Em] ne[D]-ve[C]r know.
[C]You were out there[D] drowning and it [Em]ne-v[D]er [C]showed
[C]'Till inside a[D] rain swept night you j[Em]ust l[D]et [C]go.
Chorus
[G]You've thrown it all awa[C]y, [G]and now we'll never see[C].
[G]the ending to the pla[C]y.
The grand design, the final line,
and what was meant to b[G]e.
VERSE
[G]In the dark a di[C]stant runner,
[G]now has disappeared into the nigh[C]t.
[G]leaving us to st[C]and and wonder
[G]staring from this end into your l[C]ife.
Pre-Chorus
[C]You believed in [D]things that I would[Em] ne[D]-ve[C]r know.
[C]You were out there[D] drowning and it [Em]ne-v[D]er [C]showed

Chorus
[G]You've thrown it all awa[C]y, [G]and now we'll never se[C]e.
[G]the ending to the pla[C]y.
The grand design, the final line,
and what was meant to b[G]e.
[G]And if this is all illusion, nothing more than pure delusion, clinging
[G]to a fading fantasy
[G]Like Icarus who heed the calling of a sun, but now is falling as the
[G]feathers of his life fall free.. cant you[G] see......
Yeah..
[E] [C] [E] [C]
[G]Tomorrow and[D/F#] after,[Em] you tell me[C] what am[D] I to [G]do.
[G]I stand here, [D/F#]believing, t[Em]hat in the d[C]ark there i[D]s a c[G]lue.
[G]Perhaps insi[D/F#]de this midnight s[Em]ky, perhaps t[C]ommorrow's n[D]ewborn ey[G]es.
[G]Or could it be, [D/F#]we'll never k[Em]now, and after al[C]l this w[D]as the sh[G]ow.
[G] [D/F#] [Em]
[C]What am [D]I to do[G]?
[G]Gotta get back, [D/F#]gotta get back, gotta g[Em]et back.
[C]What am [D]I to d[G]o?
G (ch)F#/D(/ch) Em
Gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back.
[C]What am [D]I to d[G]o?
[G]Standing on a [D/F#]dream, isn't what it s[Em]eems,
could we then [C]proclaim a [D]dream r[G]educe?
[G]Knowing what we [D/F#]know, could we let it g[Em]o?
Realizing that [C]all our [D]dreams are [G]used.
[G]Tomorrow and [D/F#]after, [Em]you tell me [C]what am [D]I to d[G]o.
[G]I stand here, [D/F#]believing, [Em]that in the [C]dark there [D]is a [G]clue.
[G]I am the way, [D/F#]I am the light,[Em] I am the [C]dark insi[D]de the n[G]ight.
[G]I hear your hopes, [D/F#]I feel your dreams,[Em] and in the dar[C]k I he[D]ar your [G]screams
Guitar solo:
