[Verse]
Am                  G
Going back to the beginning 
F                 Em  G
We were only seventeen 
Am                             G
I thought that we would last forever 
F                           Em  G    
But I was just too young to see 
Em                          Bm
You took our love into your sunset
C                   D        Em  D
And left me dealing with the pain
Em                              D
When I think of you it brings a feeling
Am            Bm
I can still remember
      C             D
I was crying in the rain


[Pre-Chorus]
Em Bm C
D
It was the first time
Em 
Bm C    D
Feeling lost and blind
Am      Bm            C      D
And the story's never ending
Am        Bm               C       D
Someone's heart in need of mending

Bm


[Chorus]
F#m                G
Now I stand on the dark road
        Em      F#m
Feeling so cold
      Bm
And I dream of a place
        F#m          G
For tomorrow without sorrow
         Em       F#m   Am
Where my heart is never blue


[Interlude]
Am Em F D Em


[Verse]
Am
The day goes on
             G
And soon the lights grow dim
    F                       G
And my neon city shines the night
Am                      G
I wonder what waits up ahead for me - Yeah!
F                       G
I still try to find the signs
Em                       B
I have learned to be the lonely
C       D            Em    D   
And I'm not the only one - No!
Em                    D
I found my own way of reason
Am       B                C     D  
And some kind of peace of mind


[Pre-Chorus]
Em 
Bm C D
Oh! I remember the first time
Em
Bm C   D
I was lost and blind
Am      B             C        D
And the story's never ending - Yeah!
Em Bm C
D
It was the first time
Am     Bm            C
If you ask me how I know
            D
My rock and roll
Am     Bm              C
All my life I gave my heart
        D
And my soul

Bm


[Chorus]
F#                  G
Here I stand at the threshold
        Em      F#
Feeling so old
      Bm                        F#
And I long for a place without sorrow
        G
A new tomorrow
        Em       F#
For the world to see
Bm                F#
Deep inside me a black light
        G
Feel my soul night
     Em      F#
As I sing to you
Bm                        F#
There's no time for us to borrow
           G
Death will swallow
         Em        F#
It's the melody of destiny
F                     G
Oh! So I stand on the dark road
        Em      F#
Feeling so cold
      Bm
And I dream of a place
      F#             G
For tomorrow without sorrow
         Em       F#    C#m
Where my heart is never blue
G#    Am    F# G#
Oh! - Yeah!
C#m               G#
Deep inside me a black night
        Am
Feel my soul night
       F#      G#      Am   F# G# Am 
When I sing my song to you - Hey!
F#  G#  C#m
C#m                   G#
In my time I gave you thunder
            Am
And now I'm going under
     F#  G#  C#m  
I am going under
