Bb Gm Dm
Look at all that which surrounds me
Cm F
I'm supposed to call this home
Bb Gm Dm
The dark has become so overwhelming
Ab Eb Ebm F Bb
So why don't I just go
Cm Cm/maj7
Why can't you be more like your brother
Eb
Together you would rule the throne
G
The evil and darkness would grow
F
This kingdom needs you
Bb Dm
"Why can't you just be more like Pallis?" they always ask
Eb F
Could this feeling deep in me be the prophecy?
Bb Dm
As a child I heard such wonderful stories
Eb F
Of lamps, and the oracle, and holy the sea
Cm
Silly boy, you speak of fiction
Cm/maj7 Eb
Silly boy, you can't just leave them
Cm G
Reaching for some fairy tale ending
F
Myth or legend
Bb Dm
Oh, what's the use maybe they're right
Eb
What's the point of dreaming
F
If it can never materialize?
Bb
Townsfolk are ashamed
Dm Eb Dm F Ebm
Why can't I live up to my family name?
F Eb Dm Cm F
Well it's not me, but you see it's just my pedigree

Cm Cm/maj7
You're a reckless and romantic rogue
Ab
Your head is in the clouds
G
You'll be chained here all your life
Shackled to the ground
F
You're not the chosen one
Bb Ebm F Eb
Don't you ever dream of some place better
Bb Cm F
Or a life that's greater
Bb Ebm F Eb
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
Bb Cm F Ab
For something bigger than your skin?
Bb
You are so foolish
Dm
The dark has been your home
Ebm
If you elope, I'll hunt you
F
Through suffering you'll atone
Bb
Dear Pallis, you're my brother
Cm
You looked and watched over me
Dm
But there's something bigger at stake
F
My purpose is this journey
Dm
Brother, you are shortsighted
F
Naive and starry-eyed
Cm
You are not the chosen one
F
This will be your demise
Bb
Brother, I can't help this feeling
Eb
My heart tells me to run
Dm
You were meant to rule the dark
F
I was meant to see the sun
Bb Ebm F Eb
Don't you ever dream of some place better
Bb Cm F
When the light shines brighter?
Bb Ebm F Eb
Don't you ever feel like you've been destined
Bb Cm F Ab
For something bigger than your skin?
Dm Cm Ebm F Bb
I think I'll just go
(HAVE FUN!!)
