G
Here by the lake, what a vision you are
       F#7
In the light of the emerald star
      G
I've come for you, my love
           A             Bm7
Through a window in the dark
Em
Don't you know you're my everything?
      D                         Bm7
If I lost you, I think I would die
    G                          F#7
Was everything you said just a lie?

Chorus:
D
You never loved me
       Em                  Bm7
I came all the way through time and space
    A        Bm7      A            G
To take you away and out of this place
          D
With the moonlight in your eyes
            Em               Bm7
You're the brightest star in all of the sky
       A           Bm7         A          G  F#7
I'll cry and I'll cry if your light ever dies

Oh, what a jewel are you
And, oh, what a fool am I
For squandering my love
On an emerald in the sky
Way out here in the void
Is the loneliest place to die
When everything you loved is a lie

Chorus:
You never loved me
I came all the way through time and space
To take you away and out of this place
You’re an emerald in the sky
You light up the night by blinkin’ your eyes
I’ll cry and I’ll cry if your light ever dies
