EDarlin', don't you understanC#md?
A5That there are no winners?E  
EOr metals hung from silken stranC#mds
A5To greet you at the finishE  
EAs we're dissolving into the seC#ma
A5I only take what I can carryE  
EAs the council's combing through our debC#mris
A5For the treasures we never buried
EMy loF#mve, why G#mdo you Brun?A5  
EFor mF#my hands G#mhold nBo gunA5s 
Darling though you may pretend
Pretend that you are selfless
You break with but the slightest bend
That leaves you lost and helpless
So to whom will you place the call?
In the coldest night of winter?
As numbers change and people fall
And friends, they always splinter 
EMy lF#move, why G#mdo you Brun?A5  
EFor my hF#mands hG#mold no BgunsA5  
EMy lF#move, why dG#mo you Brun?A5  
EFor my hF#mands hG#mold no BgunA5s
They hold no gG#muns
A5No, not onEe
