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]

[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]

[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...
