D       Em              Bm      G               Em
They found us in the courtyard at our table     in the shade
        D       A               Em              G
We toasted our last few moments and then the end came
        D       Em              Bm      G               Em
They took us back to the airstrip in that beaten up old car
        D       A               Em              G
And we rattled across the African scrubland     in silence
        E               G       E               G
Our hands locked together with cold steel cuffs
            E           G
Sometimes I wish it was still that way

        D       Em              Bm      G               Em
Now a whole world has died since then, so many faithless days
        D       A               Em              G
I was born alone and lucky and I'm just used to it that way
        D       Em              Bm      G               Em
My dice still roll in sixes and yours still turn up ones
        D       A               Em              G
And I have taken my good fortune and I've run and run
        E               G       E               G
But I always swore I'd come back for you
        E               G
Is it too late now to come back for you ?

        D       Em              Bm      G               Em
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6
        D       A               Em              G
We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge
        D       Em              Bm      G               Em
And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair
        D       A               Em              G
Someone's just gone and written 'I'm sorry' there
        E               G       E               G
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
