          G      F    
He believed in you,
                          Dm
remember when he said:
                   G           
Words are always hard to manage,
                  Em
can't get out of bed.

               Am
Now hear him,
               G      F
through the empty city.
                             Dm
He swept you of your feet,
                       G      
he's sweeping up the dust now baby,
                       Em
drink your whiskey neat.

Am      G F     Dm      Em
Mmmmmm....

                Am
Come on old lovers,
       G           F
fall down in the grass.
                   Dm
wake up with the breeze,
                        G     
and gather around the torn off pictures.
           Em
Join the family.

                        C
Hold the blankets tighter,
                     D
Turn on all the lights.
               G
Mummify the lovers,
                    Em
burn them in the night.

                    C
Gather our belongings,
                         D 
throw them from the trains.
                 G
Let go of the railings,
                Em 
Let go of the rains.

           C                  Am        Em
Take on me, take me on.
             Am        G  F     Dm     G     Em
Take me on, take on me.

Come on old lovers,

Now hear him,
