A#m
Oh, you sad one
Playing the angel
                            D#m
Isn't so easy where you're from

Oh, you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long

Chorus:
D
I don't want you to change
               D#m
Anything you do
D
I don't want you to be
                  D#m
Someone else for me

Oh, you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun

Oh, you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun

Chorus:
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me

Stay as you are
The darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically
