It was one of those great stories   that you can't put down at night

And the reason that she loved him was the reason I loved him too
    D        A        D        Bm       A
And he never wondered what was right or wrong
        G               A
He just knew    he just knew

           A    D         G9  G  D  D2  D5     A    D    G9 G  D

       A    D           G9  G  D  D2  D5  A  D           G9 G  D
So, we sort through the pieces               my friends and I
A         D           G9  G  D  D2  D5     A      D      G9 G  D
Searching through the darkness to find the breaks in the sky

When the he-ro     kills the maiden     with his kiss    with his kiss
