Intro:
Em E7 C Cadd9

Verse 1:
Em
She’s a deer and he’s a hunter,
E7
she’s a boat and he’s the wind,
C
they’re trying to escape the thunder
Cadd9
they’re keeping words in shadows, dimmed.

Verse 2:
Em
And as she runs, he’s right behind her,
E7
and somewhere deep inside they know,
C
she can’t escape what’s in her heart,
Cadd9
but it’s hard to catch a work of art.

Chorus:
             Em                      C
And no, they will not run forever,
         Dadd9             D
one will soon run out of breath,
            Em                 C
and that is when we’ll find out whether,
               G             D
they’ll end in tears or be together.


    Em                      C
And no, they will not run forever,
         Dadd9             D
one will soon run out of breath,
            Em                 C
and that is when we’ll find out whether,
               G             D
they’ll end in tears or be together.

Verse 3:
Em
One could give up, one could surrender,
E7
all would be good, all would be well.
C Cadd9
The trees are big, the forest is deep,
Cadd9
the sky is clouded, this is kind of sweet.

Verse 4:
Em
As he almost touches her hand,
E7
she runs faster, not wanting this to end,
C
he tries to grab her, but he’s out of breath,
Cadd9
her silhouette slowly fades again.

Chorus:
             Em                      C
And no, they will not run forever,
         Dadd9             D
one will soon run out of breath,
            Em                 C
and that is when we’ll find out whether,
               G             D
they’ll end in tears or be together.


    Em                      C
And no, they will not run forever,
         Dadd9             D
one will soon run out of breath,
            Em                 C
and that is when we’ll find out whether,
               G             D
they’ll end in tears or be together.

Outro:
Em
She’s a deer and he’s a hunter,
E7
she’s a boat and he’s the wind,
C
they’re trying to escape the thunder
Cadd9
they’re keeping words in shadows, dimmed.
