Avantasia
Angel Of Babylon (2010)

Tuning: Standard EADGBE


(Intro)

C Am Em G x2

[C]I sold my soul for diamonds
[Am]And reason for acclaim
[Em]Been begging for white angels
[G]To blow my mind away

[C]Been growing funny flowers
[Am]Where roses never grew
[Em]I stayed awake all night
[G]When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you

[Dm]I tried to take the sun and [Em]I went [F]blind
[Dm]God help me to erase you fro[Em]m my [F]mind[G]
I'm growing [F]cold

And the night is yet to come
Anyone tell me is [C]this

(Chorus)
The way it's meant to [G]be
Lost and iso[Am]lated
I'm way [G]too compl[F]icated
For you to l[G]ean on m[C]e

I play a losing ga[G]me
I cried in despera[Dm]tion
Menta[Em]l devas[F]tation
I'm blowing out the flam[C]e[G]

[C]Self-pity gave me shelter
[Am]I always hid away in vice
[Em]Dyslexic, torn and tattered
[G]I tried to read the signs[F]

[C]You never tried to take a look
[Am]At the one I'd have died to be
[Em]Now it seems you don't see me at[G] all

[Dm]Was it all worth it
Visions h[Em]olding [F]sway
[Dm]When the real thing got lost a[Em]long the [F]way[G]
Yes a[F]nyone tell me is [C]this

(Chorus)
The way it's meant to [G]be
Lost and iso[Am]lated
I'm way [G]too compl[F]icated
For you to l[G]ean on m[C]e

I play a losing ga[G]me
I cried in despera[Dm]tion
Menta[Em]l devas[F]tation
I'm blowing out the flam[C]e[Ab]

(Solo)

[Bb] [C] [Dm] [Am] [C]
[Bb] [C] [Dm] [Gm] [Am]
Yes anyone tell me is [C]this

(Chorus)
The way it's meant to [G]be
Lost and iso[Am]lated
I'm way [G]too compl[F]icated
For you to l[G]ean on m[C]e

I play a losing ga[G]me
I cried in despera[Dm]tion
Menta[Em]l devas[F]tation
I'm blowing out the flam[C]e[G][C]
