DEmBmGBm
They found us in the courtyard at our table in the shade
DAEmG
We toasted our last few moments and then the end came
DEmBmGBm
They took us back to the airstrip, in that beaten up old car
DAEmG
And we rattled across the African scrubland in silence
EGEG
Our hands locked together with cold steel cuffs
EG
Sometimes I wish it was still that way
Bridge: D A B2 B2
DEmBmGBm
Now a whole world has died since then, so many faithless days
DAEmG
I was born alone and lucky and I'm just used to it that way
DEmBmGBm
My dice still roll in sixes and yours just turn up ones
DAEmG
And I have taken my good fortune and I've run, yes I've run
EG
But I always swore that I'd come back for you
EG
Is it too late now to come back for you
Bridge: D A B2 B2
DEmBmGBm
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6
DAEmG
We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge
DEmBmGBm
And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair
DAEmG
Someone's just gone and written "I'm sorry" there
EG
Well I always swore that I'd come back for you
EG
Is it too late now to come back for you
EG
You're the only one I will ever love...
