[Verse 1]
G                D         A
    It's getting dark too soon
       Em
    A threatening silence
G               D     A
    surrounding me. A wind
         Em
   comes up from the islands.
G                 D               
    When distance fades to stormy 
 A
grey,
                         Em
    Washed out from the deep of the 
ocean,
G                D               
    Here I will stand to face 
   A
your wrath,
 Em          N.C.                G
    While all the others are praying

[Chorus 1]
                        D          
    Calm down, my heart - don't 
      A
beat so fast
                          Em       
    Don't be afraid, just once in a
       G
 lifetime
                        D          
    Calm down, my heart - don't 
      A
beat so fast
                          Em       
    Don't be afraid, just once in a
       G
 lifetime

                  D           A
    No rain can wash away my tears
                Em
    No wind can soothe my pain
G                D                
    You made me doubt, you made me 
 A
fear
                 Em
    But now I'm not the same

G                D               A
    You took my wife, my unborn son
                   Em
    Torn into the deep of the ocean
G               D                A
    I don't pretend that I love you
                    Em              
N.C.
    Cause there is nothing left to 
lose

[Verse 2]
G                   D             
    And when silence comes back to 
 A
me
           Em
    I find myself feeling lonely
G                        D       
    Standing here on the shores 
        A
of destiny
           Em
    I find myself feeling lonely

G                        D  
    I had a life to give, many 
             A
dreams to live
                        Em    
    Don't you know that you're 
                       G
losing so much this time?
               D                 A
    Beyond the waves, I will be free
  Em       N.C.                   G
    While all the others are praying

[Chorus 2]
                        D          
    Calm down, my heart - don't 
      A
beat so fast
                          Em       
    Don't be afraid, just once in a
       G
 lifetime
                        D          
    Calm down, my heart - don't 
      A
beat so fast
                          Em       
    Don't be afraid, just once in a
       G
 lifetime

                  D           A
    No rain can wash away my tears
                Em
    No wind can soothe my pain
G                D                
    You made me doubt, you made me 
 A
fear
                 Em
    But now I'm not the same

G                D               A
    You took my wife, my unborn son
                   Em
    Torn into the deep of the ocean
G               D                A
    I don't pretend that I love you
                    Em
    Cause there is nothing left to 
lose

G                D            
    The love in you, it does not 
    A
burn
                Em
    There is no lesson you can learn
G                 D              
    And there are sounds you 
    A
cannot hear
                  Em
    And there are feelings you can't
 feel
G                      D         
    Calm down, my heart - don't 
        A
beat so fast
                          Em
    Don't be afraid, just once in a 
lifetime
G               D                A
    I don't pretend that I love you
                  Em               
    And this time I'm not scared of
 G
 you
