Biography:
"Wolfsheim" (pronounced [v?lfsha?m]) is a German band from Hamburg. Their musical style takes cues from the New Romantics, New Wave and Synthpop; the lyrics tend to be melancholic, but at the same time modernist. They were inspired by the name of a fictional character from Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby.
Formation
The band was founded in 1987 by Markus Reinhardt and Pompejo Ricciardi. Reinhardt's brother Oliver Reinhardt joined the band sometime afterward.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
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
Attention: it's not easy to sing!
