Introduction:
Em C
Tonight I have no words for you
Em C
Made a promise to say so much
Em C
Oh I can only steal from you
Em C
What already belongs to us
Em C
I would like to sing a firestorm
Em C
And not some rich and soothing well
Bb G
Well all such lines are forbidden now
Em C
And it's you I cannot touch
Bm Em
Well you know that it ain't true
Bm Em
I don't care 'bout me and you
Bm D Em
See the sky is so deep
D Em
And I dare not go to sleep
Em C
I would like to come unmasked for you
Em C
I wanna come without a lie
Em C
It was this voice and pen I used
Em C
To make myself a man
Em C
Now if you could try and reach inside
Em C
And tear apart this sad cocoon
Em C
Oh I will again be that moon for you
Em C
And we too will be like sand
Bm Em
Well you know that it ain't true
Bm Em
I don't care 'bout me and you
Bm Em
See the sky is so deep

A Am Bm C
Well alright
Em C
Now I ain't being cold
Gm Em C
You know it's only that just now
Em C G
Seems obvious the hands that fell
Em G C Em
Are the hands that will soon knock down
G C
Well tonight I see the skyline
Em C
As the skyline lights a mountain range
Em C
Tomorrow night it just might have changed
Em G C
The other way around
B Bm Em
Well you know that it ain't true

I don't care 'bout me and you
