outside in the trees they're waiting tonight
E          F#  E
promise me
E                             A           E  F# E 
while the searching light moon has found me
 D                    A                     E    F# E F# E
you know it feels like the very last time again



E
Promise me, someone who will promise me, stand in the dark and fight like me
D        A              E    F# E
through eyes like fireflies
        D               A            E    F# E
turn around and tell me, it'll be alright ..... is it alright?

Promise me
E                          A            E  F# E F# E
don't cheat my soul when it returns to me
E          F#  E
promise me
E                       A         E  F# E 
give me the vision I was born to see
             D                A                     E
you know it feels like years since they burned me away
             D                A                           E
you know it feels like years since they burned my heart away
          D                 A          E
yeah, it feels like years, feels like years
    D                A                        E
it feels like years since they took my eyes away
