G D C F
G D C F G
If Cyrano de Bergerac
G D C F G
Fell prey to the blades of fifty men
G D C F G
With a heart and a sword he'd drive them back
G D C F G
Perchance to see Roxanne's eyes light up the sky again
G D C F G
And when beauty kind and full of grace
G D C F G
Again denied the beast her hand
G D C F G
The beast he turned and hid his face
G D C
And tried with all his might and magic to understand
Pre Chorus:
F G
And once upon a time
G D C
You know I used to wonder why
F G
You know no one should need to cry in pain
D C
Of a heart forbade to fly
F G
But you learn to say goodbye
D C
As you whisper beneath a sigh
Chorus:
F C G
Sweet Pain can't you plainly see?
F C G
Sweet pain you know it matters to me
F C G
Sweet pain won't you make me feel at home?
F C D
Sweet pain don't you dare leave me alone
**It's the same exact thing for the next two verses, pre-choruses, and choruses.
peace,
eric
