G#m                                  D#m
There was a time when we sailed on together
D#7                                    G#m
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
E                                         B
There was a place where we used to seek shelter
   C#m            A                       D#sus4 D#
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay

You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands

Chorus:
G#m     E             B
Lorelei, my ship has passed you by
            C#m                          D#sus4        D#
And all you promised me to show the way, you led me astray
             G#m    E              B
You were my Lorelei, what kind of fool was I
           C#m                                 D#sus4       D#
'Cause I believed in every word you said, and now I wonder why
    G#m E C#m F#
Lorelei

There was a time when we held one another
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days now I've lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name

Chorus

Now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Lorelei
