Key: G
Introduction:
DEm Bm G Em
They found us in the courtyard at our table in the shade
DA Em G
We toasted our last few moments and then the end came
DEm Bm G Em
They took us back to the airstrip in that beaten up old car
DA Em G
And we rattled across the African scrubland in silence
E GE
Our hands locked together with cold steel cuffs
E G
Sometimes I wish it was still that way
DA B9
DEm Bm G Em
Now a whole world has died since then, so many faithless days
DA Em G
I was born alone and lucky and I'm just used to it that way
DEm Bm G Em
My dice still roll in sixes and yours still turn up ones
DA Em G
And I have taken my good fortune and I've run and run
E GE
But I always swore I'd come back for you
E G
Is it too late now to come back for you ?
DA B9
DEm Bm G Em
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6
DA Em G
We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge
DEm Bm G Em
And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair
DA Em G
Someone's just gone and written 'I'm sorry' there
E GE
Well I always swore I'd come back for you
E G
Is it too late now to come back for you?
E G
You're the only one I'll ever love
DA B9
