Well there must have been a reason
G
for the smile that you had upon your face last night
Am
Are you the cat that got the cream

Did you lick your lips did you roll your eyes?
Am G
Can you imagine how it feels, it's so hard to reveal
C
Oh I can't get through and I'm falling

I'm getting out, I'm losing ground

The Spanish archer's gonna bring you down

Is there someone somewhere waiting in the wings to take my place?

Let's not drag it out like a Cagney death scene

And as you turn, don't look away

The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay

Do you remember when the sky was blue?
G
we used to talk for miles
Am G
And now we drive along in this thundering silence

It's such an obvious lie with that easy smile of yours

I'm letting go and I'm falling

I'm getting out, losing ground

Well is there something I can say as we stumble to the edge
G Am
have we gone too far? Why don't we call it a day

before we call it a nightmare darlin'?

If we made a mistake then all that it takes to be free

Is the wave of a hand and you're falling

And as you turn, don't look away

The Spanish archer's gonna make you pay
