Am  C     E7                 F
Day breaks and I miss your face
Am        C     E7          F
Once again
Long are the nights spent alone
            Am     C     E7     F
Askin' when
Am  C      E7                 F
You brought me down, down, down
               Am  C
And darling I can't,
       E7    F
see the sun no more
Dm   Am   C    E7
You're my lost cause
Dm    Am   C    E7
You're my last thought
Dm    Am   C    E7
You're my stained gauze
Dm    Am   C    E7
You are all I've got
Am  C

[Post-Chorus]
E7        F       Am      C
Scorpio rising
    E7     F       Am      C
Like Scorpio rising
    E7     F       Am      C
Like Scorpio rising
   E7      F        Am      C
A Scorpio rising
E7       F
Am   C      E7                  F
Heart aches, memories trace
Am         C      E7           F
Now and then
Am   C      E7                  F
Mourning stars and catacombs
Am         C      E7           F
A lion's den
Am  C      E7                  F
You brought me down, down, down
               Am  C
And darling I can't,
        E7     F
see the sun no more
