Bm - D
1. So you come to my world, I can show you,

on

to
the veins in your arms, take my hand.

I’m the man on the rocks on the island,

the black pearl, the fool on the
hill,

if I ask you to follow, you
will.

give
you wings to the stars, you can fly,

bring
you hope and a dream to believe in,

as
you float though the dark crimson sky.

I’m the man on the rocks on the island,

the jewel in the crown of the

the choir where no one will sing.
D
A
There is a trail out of the
canyon,

there’s
a new life waiting out there,

it’ll
take you home, out of this chasm,
G A
where
there’s blue sky, sunlight to share.

through
the dark empty caverns deep in your soul,

chasing
the tiger, the jewels.

so now you come to the gates for
redemption,

with a ball and chain at your
feet.

canyon,

there’s
a new life waiting out there,

this chasm,

where
there’s blue sky, sunlight to share.
