Ab 
The carousel begins to
C# 
slow, I take my chances
Ab 
So far removed, I fai
C# 
l to see
Fm 
The recklessness I’ve shown in
C# 
all my words and deeds
Cm 
The good in other souls I
Eb 
never fail to see
 
Can you see the
Ab 
light – As far  
C# 
as the eyes can see
 
From this  
Ab 
point above the world – Where mortals
C# 
dare their destiny
 
As it  
Fm 
radiates, may I witness
C# 
open-eyed
 
Let me re
Cm 
main where there is
C# 
light
 
In want of  
Ab 
courage – It is as a
C# 
shield for me
 
In want of  
Ab 
hope – It reassures an
C# 
d carries me
 
As it  
Fm 
radiates, may I witness o
C# 
pen-eyed
 
Let me re
Cm 
main where there is
C# 
light
 
Fm 
The greatest  
C# 
words would  
Eb 
still 
 
fa
Fm 
il me now.
 
These e
Fm 
motions 
 
I
C# 
cannot

I  
Fm 
want to be
C# 
where I don’t need t
Eb 
o 
 
hide
Ab 
myself
 
And re
C# 
main there until the

end 
 
o
Ab 
f 
 
time.
 
Fm 
The gods  
C# 
play 
 
games
Eb 
with 
 
mortal

hearts
 
As the  
Fm 
carousel
C# 
goes
Eb 
’round.
 
As

Beyond

A stranger  
F#

If nothing’s  
Ebm

nothing’
Bbm

Ebm 
must seize the day.
 
And fighting  
F# 
time, so hard  
C# 
I pray that thi
Ebm

And will the  
F# 
world stay standing
C# 
still at least for

Through my  
F#

me. I bare my

heart for all to see
 
With my

Chords and lyrics for Rubicon by Vnv Nation

 
 
Cm 
 
Ab 
 
G7 
 
Cm 
 
Praying for my
Cm 
self. These thoughts I try to hide.
 
I have  
G7 
faith in me and hope this will survive.
 
But it’s tearing me a
Ab 
part. I can’t hear the
Cm 
words by which I guide.
 
So I must  
G7 
ask again who will carry  
Cm 
me.
 
I cannot de
Cm 
ny that nothing can defend
 
from the h
G7 
elplessness that’s cutting deep inside,
 
and I can’t pre
Ab 
vent the thought that nothing’s  
Cm 
real.
 
Seems I’m waiting y
G7 
ears for this day to  
Cm 
end.
 
The strength I need to f
Cm 
eel, the pride inside of me,
 
Are not th
G7 
ere behind the face that’s staring back at me.
 
The anger and the p
Ab 
ain of knowing where I  
Cm 
am.
 
I have come so f
G7 
ar and I cannot re
Cm 
turn.
 
Nothing I can  
Ab 
do that I have not  
Cm 
done.
 
No words I can  
G7 
say. No truth left that I can see.
 
So must I let this  
Ab 
end so everything falls  
Cm 
apart.
 
Before I live the l
G7 
ife as I have always  
Cm 
done.
 
Tell me what to d
Ab 
o so I do nothing  
Cm 
wrong.
 
Something I can h
Ab 
ope for. Something real that
Cm 
I can see.
 
So nothing falls a
Ab 
part. So that it does not
Cm 
end.
 
I cannot re
G7 
turn. I can’t start  
Cm 
again.

At the

And in r

Who are we to judge what’s

purpose for us?
 
With d

Running

Without a
