D                A/C#
Some sign of forgiveness
D               A/C#
Some form of release
Bm              E
Is all that she asks for
Bm               D
Is all that she needs

She waits for the day when
She feels more at ease
Some time to be cared for
Some time left in peace

Chorus:
 E                 D
Cold stars of the future
 E                  D
Burn bright in the past
  E               Bm   A
These moments of solace
A            E
They won't last
Bm   A/C#   D
They don't last

You're wasting the moment
Biding your time
No one got ahead
Standing in line

So something is over
Before it's begun
So close you can taste it
But now it is gone

Chorus:
Cold stars of the future
Burned bright in the past
(These) these moments of solace
They don't last
They cannot last

You're hoping for solace
Well, just look around
Everyone here is
Standing in line

Solace
Solace
Solace
Solace
