By Morning – Evan Greer
These past two Gnights, we slept
With Cskin, warm on skin
And the Gsirens in the hours before Ddawn
The weak gray Glight too much
To Ckeep me thinking
Your hands in Gmine, enough
To Dkeep me feeling Gstrong
Chorus:
And if they Ccome for us by morning
          G(pm)
With that knock knock on the door
I will Dfeel your heart rate quicken
As they Greach the second G7floor
And if I Chave to give my name 
You know I Gwon't be givinEmg yours
I'll run my Ghands through your Dhair
And say its Gthem who's really Cscared
'Cause they Gknow our love is stronger 
Than their Dbars will ever Gbe
That afternoon, we sat
Cross legged in the backyard
As the smoke erased our pictures, dates, and names
So just one match, to burn
This poetic evidence
Just one glance, to see our fear reflected in the flames
Chorus:
And if you called me up past midnight
Hear that clicking on the line
I would try to reassure you
That everything is fine
If you have to give your name
I hope you won't be giving mine
You'll run your hands
Through my hair
And say its them who's really scared
'Cause they know our love is stronger
Than their bars could ever be
Some nights you give 'em hell
Sometimes that's hell to pay
But they know damn well that we're not going away
We may be lying through our teeth 
But we'll still say we are not afraid
And I swear I'll keep singing if they take you away
Chorus:
Yeah if they come for us by morning
With that knock knock on the door
I'll hold you a little closer
As they reach the second floor
If I have to give my name 
No I won't be giving yours
I'll run my hands through your hair
And say its them who's really scared
'Cause they know our love is stronger 
Then their bars could ever be…

By Morning – Evan Greer

These past two nights, we slept

With skin, warm on skin

G D

And the sirens in the hours before dawn

The weak gray light too much

To keep me thinking

Your hands in mine, enough

D G

To keep me feeling strong

Chorus:

And if they come for us by morning

(pm)

With that knock knock on the door

I will feel your heart rate quicken

G G7

As they reach the second floor

And if I have to give my name

G Em

You know I won't be giving yours

G D

I'll run my hands through your hair

G C

And say its them who's really scared

'Cause they know our love is stronger

D G

Than their bars will ever be

That afternoon, we sat

Cross legged in the backyard

As the smoke erased our pictures, dates, and names

So just one match, to burn

This poetic evidence

Just one glance, to see our fear reflected in the flames

Chorus:

And if you called me up past midnight

Hear that clicking on the line

I would try to reassure you

That everything is fine

If you have to give your name

I hope you won't be giving mine

You'll run your hands

Through my hair

And say its them who's really scared

'Cause they know our love is stronger

Than their bars could ever be

Some nights you give 'em hell

Sometimes that's hell to pay

But they know damn well that we're not going away

We may be lying through our teeth

But we'll still say we are not afraid

And I swear I'll keep singing if they take you away

Chorus:

Yeah if they come for us by morning

With that knock knock on the door

I'll hold you a little closer

As they reach the second floor

If I have to give my name

No I won't be giving yours

I'll run my hands through your hair

And say its them who's really scared

'Cause they know our love is stronger

Then their bars could ever be…
