Verse 1:
A

Shotgun alleys with lightning flowers
D                  F#
Under the eyes of fallen statues
    B                    D
Dry blood they've never seen
A
Pain is sharper when I suspect
      D             F#
That true love runs looking for us
        B           D
Like a lion in our dreams


Chorus:
A               E
The strawberry road
           B            E
Where the dream fades
    A                E               B        D
Is down between our longing and desire
  A            E
The strawberry road
           B          E        F# E F# B
Where our hearts break into love


Verse 2:
     A
You censor longing and organize beauty
   D
Because you're afraid
    F#                B          D
You want it more than oxygen or light
A
You can't get there with your morals
      D
Or without love
F#
Lie down with me
    B                    D
The rules aren't always right


Chorus:
A               E
The strawberry road
           B            E
Where the dream fades
    A                E               B        D
Is down between our longing and desire
  A            E
The strawberry road
           B          E        F# E F# E F# B
Where our hearts break into love


Verse 3:
A
Call it romance or nostalgia
    D                 F#
The hunger behind our memories
      B             D
We've buried it in code
    A
The things we've wanted
                      D
When we get them are never enough
F#
Never what they seem
         B               D
But they lead us to the road


Chorus:
A               E
The strawberry road
           B            E
Where the dream fades
    A                E               B        D
Is down between our longing and desire
  A            E
The strawberry road
           B          E        F# E F# E F# E F# E F# E F# E F# E
Where our hearts break into love
