F#m                             Dsus2
I've faced the fathoms in your deep
F#m                             Dsus2
Withstood the suitors quiet siege
F#m
Pulled down the heavens just to
  G            G
Please you, appease you,
     G               G
The wind blows and I know

A Bm7

[Pre-Chorus]
A          Bm7
I can't go on digging roses from 
  A             Bm7
grave to linger on, beyond the
        A                 Bm7
Beyond, where the willows weep and the whirlpools
A                  Bm7
Sleep, you'll find me

     G              G
The coarse tide reflects sky

[Chorus]
         Dsus2          F#m
And the nightmare rides on
         Dsus2          F#m
And the nightmare rides on
       Dsus2          F#m
With a december black psalm
         Dsus2          F#m 
And the nightmare rides on

     G          G
What I fear is lost here
     G             G
The wind blows and I know
