E A E E B E
E A E
We stood together in the open field
E A F#m
And heard the secret that the night revealed
B
Then we chased the lie
A E
Racing through the sky
Can we untangle guilt or innocence?
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where has power gone?
E Am
For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping
E B
And sell them for dust and cheap lust
E Am
And I'll slit your hope while you are weeping
E B
And wipe the blood clean with morphine
E
Be my queen
A F#m C#m
The wind howls the black clouds around the storm at sea
A F#m C#m
I'm dropping at too great a speed
E A C#m F#m
Come closer to me on your hands and knees
A B
Alone in the kill zone
E A E
How much is not enough, how much is through?
E A F#m
How long will I be getting over you?
B A E
How much grief and sin 'til a heart caves in?
A E Am C#m Am
'Til a heart caves in, 'til a heart caves in
