[Verse]
A5                       F/A                         G5
   The soldiers standing on the shore shake up their golden shields
A5                F/A                        G5
   You watch them from your room high on the city walls
A5                     F/A                     G5
In the distance on the shifting sea a thousand colored sails
            A5                           F/A
Is this the moment you made? Is this the way that you planned?
            G5
You know it won't be long now.

[Chorus]
           D5                              E                          A#5
The finest treasures of kings all of those precious things they never tempted you
          D5                                E                        A#5
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on, as they burned for you?
C   G5             D5                       E                       A#5
        The broken pieces of clay   and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue

[Verse]
A5                  F/A                      G5
You remember how it used to be when you were just a girl
A5                F/A                     G5
   Nothing really mattered then you can remember so well
A5                        F/A                           G5
How you used to hold your head so high? Those days will never return

[Chorus]
           D5                              E                          A#5
The finest treasures of kings all of those precious things they never tempted you
          D5                                E                        A#5
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on, as they burned for you?
C   G5             D5                       E                       A#5
        The broken pieces of clay   and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue

[Verse]
A5                      F/A                      G5
Dust is drifting in the evening air   across the field below
           A5                   F/A                       G5
The silver mirror you hold will never tell, you turn your face away

[Chorus]
           D5                              E                           A#5
The finest treasures of kings all of those precious things, they never tempted you
          D5                                E                        A#5
So as you stood in the ruins, how could you dare to look on, as they burned for you?

        The broken pieces of clay   and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
C   G5             D5                       E                       A#5
        The broken pieces of clay   and the palest eyes, painted in Trojan blue
