Strum
D-DU-UDU
If  Cyrano de  Bergerac
Fell  prey to the blades  of fifty men
With  a heart and a sword  he'd drive them back
Perchance  to see Roxanne's  eyes  light up the sky again
And  when beauty kind  and full of grace
Again  denied  the beast her hand
The  beast he turned  and hid his face
And  tried with all his might  and magic  to understand
 Pre Chorus:
And  once upon a time
You  know I used  to wonder why
 You know no  one should need to cry  in pain
 Of a heart  forbade to fly
 But you learn  to say goodbye
 As you whisper  beneath a sigh
Sweet  Pain can't  you plainly see?
 Sweet pain  you know it matters  to me
 Sweet pain  won't you make  me feel at home?
 Sweet pain  don't you dare  leave me alone
 **It's the same exact thing for the next two verses, pre-choruses, and choruses.
 peace,
 eric
