Riff:

Intro: Riff x4

Em
Tears are shed, a shame

I should have known
   D
I should have thought
   Bm
I could have thought
       D           Em      
Before I cast that stone

Em
The waves radiate far and wide
          D            
There's a ringing in my ears
       Bm
For a minute
   D               Em
I think I'm going blind

Riff x2

Em
Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
     D
The crown weighs heavy  
Bm         D              Em
Heavy as I sit back in my throne

Em
I say hey, it wasn't me
I'm just a pawn
        D
But the devil's not into details
Bm                 D       Em
Where have all the heroes gone?

Riff x2
Hey I don't know
Why don't you tell me?     x2

Riff x2

Em              Bm
The dream is broken
G                     Am
Now the mind must be woken

Em     
So what are you waiting for
         Am            Bm
Tell me what's the hesitation?
Em
What are  you waiting for
         Am           B
Tell me what is the delay?

Riff x4
Hey I don't know
Why don't you tell me?     X4

Solo:
Break  1 measure
Riff x7

Em
The victor earns the title "The Great"
        D
All the mysteries get unlearned
        Bm             D                  Em
All the history just becomes a string of dates

Em
The hordes overrun in a clean sweep
    D
Destroying everything that was built
  Bm                   D            Em
Where's the glory in making mothers weep?

Riff x4
Hey I don't know
Why don't you tell me?     X4

Em              Bm
The dream is broken
G                      Am
Now the mind must be woken

Em 
So what are you waiting for
        Am             Bm
Tell me what's the hesitation?
Em
What are you waiting for
     Am          Bm
Your special invitation?
Em
What are you waiting for
        Am            B
Tell me what is the delay?
