          C              E             F      C   G
Well I'll hold you in my arms till the wounds subside
        C               E              F            C      G
And we call out to the darkness as we pray for the coming light
   C                   E
We know now that your coming
            F               G
We hear the rattle in your lungs
   C                      E
We know now that you'll never

Make the coming light of dawn

Am

F     C     G
hummm hummm humm
F       C    G
Oh, I dream about you
       F    C      G
In the cold of the night

   C                E
We hold out for the moments
          F                    G
Though we know they'll never arrive
C              E
Held down undercover
            F               G
beneath the cold and dirty skies
   C             E
We hold on to each other
     F            C G  C
For who wants to die alone

(Solo 1)Am
same pattern as intro


F     C     G
hummm hummm humm
F   C       G
Hey we both know
       F     C     G
These lines won't move

   C                 E
We call now for our lovers
        F          C     G
As they lie by the river side
C                    E
Chased back to the moment
        F            C      G
By the sound of the coming tide

(solo 2) C, E, F, C, G x2

       C                   E
We're sure now that she's coming

Our written words, they won't die with us

E, F, C, G

   C                 E
We call now for our mothers
       F          C  G  C
In the end we all die alone
