Cadd9 C C * Fmaj7 * Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
[Verse]
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
Oh meet me when the morning fails on the fields of desire
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
Oh meet me when I lost my part in the choir of dusk
Am Fmaj7 Gsus4
Where the promise to lead what is right
Am * Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
As we both know how fields will turn white
C Cadd9 C
And know I will never speak of days
Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
Cause I know you wont count them
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
No we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
Am Fmaj7 Gsus4
And we're walking our crooked path home
Am * Fmaj7 G
But will we ever confess what we've done?
N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run.

[Verse]
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
And no we will never be a part of the pictures once taken
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
When we're feeding fire with the flames til no memories gone
Am Fmaj7 Gsus4
And the cold sky will write us a song
Am * Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
But will we ever confess what we've done?
N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run

And the reflections in their eyes
E7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7 ** Fmaj7 Fmaj7 ** Fmaj7
Sure could paint us as killers
C Cadd9 Gsus4
Oh, I'll be there.
Dm Gsus4
And til the terror of our time
E7 Fmaj7
Could forgive us as lovers
C Cadd9 G Gsus4 G
Oh, lets break some hearts....
[Verse]
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
And no i will never speak of ways 'cause i know you wont try them
C Cadd9 C Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
But all the weapons raining from the sky will be ours to embrace
Am Fmaj7 Gsus4
And the cold sky will write us a song
Am * Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
But will we ever confess what we've done
N.C.
Guess we're still kids on the run.
