The Labyrinth Song

Dm
Evening rises, darkness threatens to engulf us all
              C
But there's a moon above it's shining and I think I hear a call
            Dm
It's just a whisper through the trees, my ears can hardly make it out
          C
But I can hear it in my heart, vibrating strong as if she shouts

[Chorus]

          Am                                                     G
Oh Ariadne, I am coming, I just need to work this maze inside my head
                                                                   Am
I came here like you asked, I killed the beast, that part of me is dead
                                                    G
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my head
                                                        Am
If only I'd have listened to you when you offered me that thread

( G  Am )

Dm
Everything is quiet and I'm not exactly sure
      C
If it really was your voice I heard or maybe it's a door
               Dm
That's closing up some hero's back, on his track to be a man
       C
Can it be that all us heroes have a path but not a plan?

Continues after the ad
[Chorus]

          Am                                                    G
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
                                                               Am
I wish I had that string, it's so damn dark, I think I'm going blind
                                                    G
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my mind
                                                   Am
For the life of me I don't remember what I came to find

( G  Am )

    Dm
Now tell me princess are you strolling through your sacred grove?
           C
And is the moon still shining? You're the only thing I'm thinking of
              Dm
The sword you gave me, it was heavy, I just had to lay it down
               C
It's funny how defenseless I can feel here when there's nobody around

[Chorus]

          Am                                                    G
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
                                                           Am
I was blind, I thought you'd bind me, but you offered me a chart
                                                    G
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this maze inside my heart
                                                                 Am
If I'd known that you could guide me, I'd have listened from the start

( G  Am )

Dm
Somewhere up there there midnight strikes, I think I hear the fall
          C
Of little drops of water, magnified against the barren wall
            Dm
It's more a feeling than a substance, but there's nobody around
             C
And when I'm in here all alone, it's just enough to let me drown

[Chorus]

          Am                                                       G
Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I failed you in this labyrinth of my past
                                                       Am
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and we'll make each other last
                                                      G
Oh Ariadne, I have failed you in this labyrinth of my past
                                                       Am
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and we'll make each other last

( G  Am  G  Am )
