[Verse 1]
They Dfound us Emin the Bmcourtyard at our Gtable in the Bmshade
We Dtoasted our Alast few Emmoments and then the Gend came
They Dtook us Emback to the Bmairstrip, in that Gbeaten up old Bmcar
And we Drattled across the AAfrican Emscrubland in Gsilence
Our Ehands locked toGgether with Ecold steel Gcuffs
SomeEtimes I wish it was Gstill that way
[Interlude]
D  A  B2 B2
[Verse 2]
Now a Dwhole wEmorld has Bmdied since then, so Gmany faithless Bmdays
I was Dborn alAone and Emlucky and I'm just Gused to it that way
My Ddice still Emroll in siBmxes and Gyours just turn up Bmones
And I haDve taken Amy good Emfortune and I've rGun, and I've run
But I Ealways swore that I'd come Gback for you
Is it Etoo late now to come Gback for you
[Interlude]
D  A  B2 B2
[Verse 3]
Now beDneath this lEmonely juncBmtion on the nGorthbound BmM6
We Dspray our worAds of signaEmture on a conGcrete bridge
And betwDeen the wEmords of wBmisdom and the slGogans of desBmpair
DSomeone's just Agone and written "EmI'm sorry" Gthere
Well I aElways swore that I'd come Gback for you
Is it Etoo late now to come Gback for you
You're the Eonly one I will Gever love...
[Outro]
D  A  B2 B2

[Verse 1]

D Em Bm G Bm

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 Bm

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

[Interlude]

D A B2 B2

[Verse 2]

D Em Bm G Bm

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 Bm

My dice still roll in sixes and yours just turn up ones

D A Em G

And I have taken my good fortune and I've run, and I've run

E G

But I always swore that I'd come back for you

E G

Is it too late now to come back for you

[Interlude]

D A B2 B2

[Verse 3]

D Em Bm G Bm

Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6

D A Em G

We spray our words of signature on a concrete bridge

D Em Bm G Bm

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

Well I always swore that 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 will ever love...

[Outro]

D A B2 B2
