-Standard Tuning- -No Capo- The chords are played as follows: *All choruses and verses are played the same D: xx0232 A: x02220 Bm: x24432 G: 320003 [Intro] D, A (x4) [Verse 1] D A D A stupid me, I took a morning picture (D) A D To send to you ten thousand miles away (D) A D The yolky sun rising on the snowfield Bm D G And I swore I wouldn't think of you today
[Verse 2] The frozen line takes me across the border A hundred years of horses lead the way Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder? There's nothing left to cling to anyway [Chorus] G A I know you'll break my heart again D Bm Somewhere on the northern plains G A Tired lovers left alone to lie G A Far beyond the golden grave D Bm An emptiness I can't explain G A Our hearts are always broken in the sky (N.C.) As the northern plains go by [Instrumental] D, A (x2) [Verse 3] Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere You'll burn, forgetting quietly each day I've never seen so far without an ocean And I've never longed for something more to say [Chorus] I know you'll break my heart again Somewhere on the northern plains Tired lovers left alone to lie Far beyond the golden grave An emptiness I can't explain Our hearts are always broken in the sky G As the northern plains go by [Bridge] (G) I don't know where the moments go A Or if love can be replaced G And I don't know why the morning snow A Reminds me of your face [Chorus] But I know you'll break my heart again Somewhere on the northern plains Tired lovers left alone to lie Far beyond the golden grave An emptiness I can't explain Our hearts are always broken in the sky As the northern plains go by As the northern plains go by As the northern plains go by
