Intro:
A  A6 A F#m  D    x2


Verse 1:
A                        A6           A
Your face looks so sweet, even in the wars
F#m                            D
You took the rap for me, but I fell on my own sword
A                              A6       A
And now the sordid details are all over page four
F#m                                D
Honey, we made the news and that's all we did this for
A                         A6             A
We drove for centuries without a sound or fuss
F#m                          D
State penitentiaries weren't made for souls like us

Pre-Chorus:
A
There will be blood,
    A6          A
But you will be loved
F#m
The world will know,
D
But it's only us


Chorus:
A      A6  A  F#m
When I lay me down
  D       A         A6  A
I pray we keep each day
        F#m       D
Please, stay with me


Verse 2:
A
You painted the town red,
A6                  A
Now everyone in the town's dead
F#m                D
You and I win again, best friends 'til our last breath
A
Live by the gun, die by the gun
A6             A
Live by the sea, live while we're young
F#m
Take from the rich, give to the poor
D
Run to the hills, run from the law
A
Ride shotgun with our crossbow
A6                       A
Head out North where the Sun grows
F#m
Start fresh where they don't know
D
The things we did, stick-up kids


Pre-Chorus:
A                 A6
We laughed, we cried
         A
We lived, we died
F#m
We came, we saw
D
We conquered them all


Chorus:
A      A6  A  F#m
When I lay me down
  D       A         A6  A
I pray we keep each day
        F#m       D
Please, stay with me


Verse 3:
A                            A6
Don't listen to what they say
                    A
Don't take the medication
F#m
They never loved us anyway
D
Never liked our generation
A
They'll try and keep you
A6               A
But you're still mine
F#m
And I love you, and you're strong, dear
D
And we're fine
A                               A6
So, remember when the time comes
A                           F#m
When it's over and it's all done
                             D
Meet me in the North, by the edge of the Sun


Chorus:
A      A6  A  F#m
When I lay me down
  D       A         A6  A
I pray we keep each day
        F#m       D
Please, stay with me
