The point of no return    (video)    (midi)

 

      Em                     B7          - Em                         E

1. Past the point of no return,        no backward glances :

             C                                    D                   G       - B7

    The games we've played till now are at an end.

      Em                        B7               - Em                  E

    Past all thought of „if” or „when”,         no use resisting,

         C                            D                           G     - G7

    abandon thought and let the dream descend.

                         C                             F

    What raging fire shall flood the soul ?

                         Bb                    Bbm

    What rich desire unlocks its door ?

                              F                   F#m B7

    What sweet seduction lies before  us ?

       Em                    B7          - Em                   E

    Past the point of no return,        the final threshold,

                C                      D                      G 

    what warm unspoken secrets will we learn,

          C                        F   B7  Em

    beyond the point of no ret...urn ?

2. You have brought me   to   that moment where words run dry,

                 Em                    Cm               Bbm        G#m     F#m

    to that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence.

   G#  Bb    G      Fm     G#        Bb              G           Fm

    I   have come here, hardly knowing the reason why.

    Fm     Gm            D#m     C#m

    In my mind I've already imagined

           Fm            Gm         D#m                C#m

    our bodies entwining, defenceless and silent.

             Bm

    And now I am here with you,

          Am                                 Gm        F#m

    no second thoughts, I've decided, decided !

 

      Em                    B7           - Em                  E

3. Past the point of no return,         no going back now,

             C                         D                    G    - B7

    our passion play has now at last begun.

      Em                       B7                  - Em                     E

    Past all thought of right or wrong,         one final question :

             C                               D                         G      - G7

    How long should we two wait before we're one ?

                              C                   F

    When will the blood begin to race ?

                            Bb                  Bbm

    The sleeping bud burst into bloom ?

                             F                       F#m   B7

    When will the flames at last consume us ?

    F#m                    C#           - F#m                 F#

    Past the point of no return,          the final threshold,

             D                                E                           A

    the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn.

                 D                            G  C# F#m

    We've passed the point of no ret...urn.
