Intro:
Dm Gm          F          C
Pieces of what could have been
F           Bb        C
Pieces of a shattered dream
Dm     Gm              F   C
Child, take your dark memories
F    Dm                    Gm  F    C
Like seeds, and plant them far from here
Am  Bb    C    Dm    Am      Bb    C   G
Sow them, feed them, through shine and rain
Am   Bb   C    Dm Am   Bb C
Your love will be born again

Interlude: F Gm

Verse 1:
Dm                  Gm F
The dawn of prosperity
  C           F
A faded scar
               Gm F
An ended calamity
  C                Dm
A slaughtered tsar
                           Gm        F
We all need something to believe in
           Gm
Until it's over
Dm
Anything, anyone, anytime
             Gm F C
But it's not over yet

Pre-chorus:
Bb                      C
This is what dreams are made of
Dm                     Am       Bb
This is what they're afraid of
  C             G      Bb
A rhyme with no reason
                  C          Dm
When they finally reach you
              Am            Bb
You will have seen through
                 C
That dark is the season

Chorus:
Dm         Bb            C
Your love, bright as the starlight
Dm         Bb           C
Oh, child, still we can see
Dm            Bb       C
A black moon, over the peacefield
Dm         Bb            Dm
Oh, child, stay close to me

Verse 2:
Dm                Gm  F
The end of a monarchy
          C       F
A state machine
             Gm  F
Unable to forsee
    C               Dm
The widowed queen
                           Gm     F
We all need something to believe in
           Gm
Until it's over
Dm
Anything, anyone, anytime
             Gm F C
But it's not over yet

Pre-chorus:
Bb            C
Every new generation
Dm                Am     Bb
Hails a grand usurpation
C         G
Devoid of treason
Bb             C
For a man in a mirror
Dm               Am      Bb
It's all getting clearer
                 C
That dark is the season

Your love, bright as the starlight

Oh, child, still we can see
Dm            Bb       C
A black moon, over the peacefield

Oh, child, stay close to me

One day, fate will find a way

And right back to the bearer of light
