C Am

I know that you’re out there

Dm G

Born ready, but on the decline

C Am

To keep you from my thoughts

Dm G

When we first broke the line

C Am

Do you remember like I remember?

Lost pursuits of excellence

The glory of the crowd

Lives of imperialists

Leave me with aching wrists

So no wonder you frown

When you’re two world wars down

So when the dark times come

Well I will sing you a good time song

I’m pretending that it’s ending

But it kills me to act so strong

Just to gaze in your eyes

G# G

Makes all the difference to me.

C Am Dm G

Just be ready my angel

Be ready when I call

I’ve been re reading letters

They were moving warm but bitter

And I cried right through them all

Oooh ooooh

The days go so slow

Ooooh oooh

We’ll never get to heaven with the artillery in tow

F C

So when the dark times come

It might warm your heart to know

That I went to the crossroads

But the devil never showed

F G# G

They can stick their war, I’m leaving now

Makes all the difference to me

Em Am

I’m hoping if you know where I am

Em Am

Send your heart in a telegram

Em Am

I’m praying that you know where I am

C Am Dm

Be upstairs ready my angel

Be ready when I call

And then my angel I’ll be ready too

And I will catch you when you fall

Do you remember like I remember

All the dirty things you said?

Do you remember like I remember

Or was it all in my head?

F C

So when the dark times come

Well I will song you a good time song

I’m pretending that it’s ending

But it kills me to act so strong

F G# G

To gaze in your eyes

Makes all the difference to me
