[Verse 1]
       Em
It was cold the day they found you by the river
       Em                            Am
Broken dreams had turned to ice upon your cheek
       Em
It was cold the day I swore
               Em
Until my dying breath
    Em                                        Cm
I'd give my life to heal those broken dreams
[Pre-Chorus]

I've waited
Bb             B
Longed for the day
   C    B
To show you
   C         B
To take you away
[Chorus]
Em          D            Em        C
Rise to the queen of the symphony
          G             D      Bm
Watch her step into the light
   Em          D            Em
Surrender your heart to the melody
C           B
Let it take flight
       C
She'll sing to you
    B           Em
The Opus of the night

[Verse 2]
          Em
Trembling steps into a world she had forgotten
      Em         Am           D
Dusty roses on a royal velvet seat
        Em
And the letter in her name
Em
Brings her back again
  Em                    D
Familiar the notes upon the sheet
[Pre-Chorus]
     Cm B
I've waited
Bb             B
Longed for the day
  C    B
Seduce me
C        B
Take me away
[Chorus]
Em          D            Em        C
Rise to the queen of the symphony
          G             D      Bm
Watch her step into the light
   Em          D            Em
Surrender your heart to the melody
C           B
Let it take flight
       C
She'll sing to you

A dark silhouette
          Em
Lingering age old desperation
  C
Reviving grand nostalgia
     B          Am       G F#    Em
Come shivers of pure admiration
Em D
Em B/Eb

Close your eyes
    Em                     B       Am
Now let your emotions take flight

Goddess in white
[Chorus]

Em                                   E      B
One last encore for the queen of the stage
Em                              B  Em  B Bm C B
One final bow for the old prima donna
  Em
I sing to you
