E                           C#m
Darlin', don't you understand?
A5                        E
That there are no winners?
E                               C#m
Or metals hung from silken strands
A5                        E
To greet you at the finish
E                              C#m
As we're dissolving into the sea
A5                          E
I only take what I can carry
E                                       C#m
As the council's combing through our debris
A5
For the treasures we never buried
E    F#m     G#m   B    A5
My love, why do you run?
E    F#m     G#m   B    A5
For my hands hold no guns 
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 
E   F#m     G#m    B    A5
My love, why do you run?
E       F#m   G#m   B    A5
For my hands hold no guns
E   F#m       G#m   B   A5
My love, why do you run?
E       F#m   G#m   B   A5
For my hands hold no guns
              G#m
They hold no guns
A5        E
No, not one
Edited: 07-May-2015: Added B in between G#m and A5 as @andy.burnstein1 suggested.
