This song is normally played in C#(?), but for this acoustic-version I think it fits better in G.
Attention: it's not easy to sing!

[Verse 1]
G D A
It's getting dark too soon
Em
A threatening silence
G D A
surrounding me. A wind
Em
comes up from the islands.
G D A
When distance fades to stormy grey,
Em
Washed out from the deep of the ocean,
G D A
Here I will stand to face your wrath,
Em N.C. G
While all the others are praying
[Chorus 1]
D A
Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
Em G
Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
D A
Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
Em G
Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
D A
No rain can wash away my tears
Em
No wind can soothe my pain
G D A
You made me doubt, you made me fear
Em
But now I'm not the same
G D A
You took my wife, my unborn son
Em
Torn into the deep of the ocean
G D A
I don't pretend that I love you
Em N.C.
Cause there is nothing left to lose
[Break or Solo]
2 x G D A Em
[Verse 2]
G D A
And when silence comes back to me
Em
I find myself feeling lonely
G D A
Standing here on the shores of destiny
Em
I find myself feeling lonely
G D A
I had a life to give, many dreams to live
Em G
Don't you know that you're losing so much this time?
D A
Beyond the waves, I will be free
Em N.C. G
While all the others are praying
[Chorus 2]
D A
Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
Em G
Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
D A
Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
Em G
Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
D A
No rain can wash away my tears
Em
No wind can soothe my pain
G D A
You made me doubt, you made me fear
Em
But now I'm not the same
G D A
You took my wife, my unborn son
Em
Torn into the deep of the ocean
G D A
I don't pretend that I love you
Em
Cause there is nothing left to lose
G D A
The love in you, it does not burn
Em
There is no lesson you can learn
G D A
And there are sounds you cannot hear
Em
And there are feelings you can't feel
G D A
Calm down, my heart - don't beat so fast
Em
Don't be afraid, just once in a lifetime
G D A
I don't pretend that I love you
Em G
And this time I'm not scared of you
