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

[Chorus]

          Am                       
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need
                             G
 to work this maze inside my mind
I wish I had that string, it's so 
                             Am
damn dark, I think I'm going blind
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this
                G
 maze inside my mind
For the life of me I don't remember 
               Am
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                       
Oh Ariadne, I'm coming, I just need
                             G
 to work this maze inside my heart
I was blind, I thought you'd bind 
                         Am
me, but you offered me a chart
Oh Ariadne, I just need to work this
                G
 maze inside my heart
If I'd known that you could guide 
                               Am
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                   
Oh Ariadne, I was coming, but I 
failed you in this labyrinth of my 
 G
past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and 
                      Am
we'll make each other last
Oh Ariadne, I have failed you in 
                     G
this labyrinth of my past
Oh Ariadne, let me sing you, and 
                      Am
we'll make each other last

( G  Am  G  Am )
