T Bone Burnett - Kill Zone 
|  E| A   E|  E| B   E|
EWe stood together in the Aopen Efield
EAnd heard the Asecret that the F#mnight revealed
BThen we chased the lie
ARacing through the Esky
Can we untangle guilt or innocence?
How hard we torture this ambivalence
Night will bring no dawn
Where has power gone?
EFor I'll steal your dreams while you are Amsleeping
And sell them for dEust and cheap Blust
EAnd I'll slit your hope while you are Amweeping
And wipe the blood Eclean with Bmorphine
Be my Equeen
AThe wind howls the F#mblack clouds aC#mround the storm at sea
AI'm dropping at F#mtoo great a C#mspeed
ECome closer to Ame on C#myour hands and F#mknees
AAlone in the Bkill zone
EHow much is not enough, Ahow much is Ethrough?
EHow long will AI be getting F#mover you?
BHow much grief and sin 'Atil a heart cEaves in?
A'Til a heart Ecaves in, 'Amtil a heart caves iC#mnAm

E A E

We stood together in the open field

E A F#m

And heard the secret that the night revealed

Then we chased the lie

A E

Racing through the sky

Can we untangle guilt or innocence?

How hard we torture this ambivalence

Night will bring no dawn

Where has power gone?

E Am

For I'll steal your dreams while you are sleeping

E B

And sell them for dust and cheap lust

E Am

And I'll slit your hope while you are weeping

E B

And wipe the blood clean with morphine

Be my queen

A F#m C#m

The wind howls the black clouds around the storm at sea

A F#m C#m

I'm dropping at too great a speed

E A C#m F#m

Come closer to me on your hands and knees

A B

Alone in the kill zone

E A E

How much is not enough, how much is through?

E A F#m

How long will I be getting over you?

B A E

How much grief and sin 'til a heart caves in?

'Til a heart caves in, 'til a heart caves in
