[intro]
[Gm] [Dm] [F] [C] [C]

[Opening]
[Gm] I heard you calling[Dm] on the megaphone
[F] You wanna see me [C]all alone
[Gm] As legend has it you[Dm] are quite the pyro
[F] You light the match to [C]watch it blow

[verse 2]
And if you'd never c[Gm]ome for me
[Dm] I might've drowned in the m[F]elancholy
[C] I swore my loyalty to [Gm]me, myself and [Dm]I
Right before you [F]lit my sky[C] up

[chorus]
All that [Bb]time I sat alone in my to[F]wer
You were just honing your po[Dm]wers
Now I can see it al[C]l (See it all)
Late one [Bb]night you dug me out of my grave [F]and
Saved my heart from the fate [Dm]of Opheli[C]a (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the [Gm]land, the sea, the [Dm]sky
Pledge allegiance to your [F]hands, your team, your [C]vibes
Don't care where the hell you [Gm]been 'cause now you're [Dm]mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless [F]night you've been dreaming [C]of
The fate of Ophelia[Gm]

[verse 3]
[Gm] The eldest daughter[Dm] of a nobleman
[F] Ophelia lived in [C]fantasy
But love was a cold bed[Dm] full of scorpions
[F] The venom stole her [C]sanity

[verse 4]
And if you'd never c[Gm]ome for me (Come for [Dm]me)
I might've lingered in p[F]urgatory
[C] You wrap around me like a [Gm]chain (Chain), a crown (Crown), a [Dm]vine (Vine)
Pulling me in[F]to the f[C]ire

[chorus]
All that [Bb]time I sat alone in my to[F]wer
You were just honing your po[Dm]wers
Now I can see it al[C]l (See it all)
Late one [Bb]night you dug me out of my grave [F]and
Saved my heart from the fate [Dm]of Opheli[C]a (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the [Gm]land, the sea, the [Dm]sky
Pledge allegiance to your [F]hands, your team, your [C]vibes
Don't care where the hell you [Gm]been 'cause now you're [Dm]mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless [F]night you've been dreaming [C]of

[chorus]
The fate of Ophelia

[verse 5]
'Tis [Gm]locked inside my memory
And [Dm]only you possess the key
No [F]longer drowning and deceived
[C]All because you came for me
[Gm]Locked inside my memory
And [Dm]only you possess the key
No [F]longer drowning and deceived
[C]All because you came for me-e-e-e-e

[chorus]
All that [Bb]time I sat alone in my to[F]wer
You were just honing your po[Dm]wers
Now I can see it al[C]l (See it all)
Late one [Bb]night you dug me out of my grave [F]and
Saved my heart from the fate [Dm]of Opheli[C]a (Ophelia)
Keep it one hundred on the [Gm]land, the sea, the [Dm]sky
Pledge allegiance to your [F]hands, your team, your [C]vibes
Don't care where the hell you [Gm]been 'cause now you're [Dm]mine
It's 'bout to be the sleepless [F]night you've been dreaming [C]of

[chorus]
The fate of Ophelia

[Closing]
[Gm] You saved my [Dm]heart from the fate of[F] Ophelia
