By Morning - Evan Greer
GThese (320003@1)past two nights, we slept
C (x32010@1)With skin, warm on skin
G (320003@1) DAnd (xx0232@1)the sirens in the hours before dawn
GThe (320003@1)weak gray light too much
C (x32010@1)
To keep me thinking
GYour (320003@1)hands in mine, enough
D (xx0232@1) GTo (320003@1)keep me feeling strong
Chorus:
CAnd (x32010@1)if they come for us by morning
G(pm) (320003@1)With that knock knock on the door
DI (xx0232@1)will feel your heart rate quicken
G (320003@1) G7As (320001@1)they reach the second floor
CAnd (x32010@1)if I have to give my name
G (320003@1) EmYou (022000@1)know I won't be giving yours
G (320003@1) DI'll (xx0232@1)run my hands through your hair
G (320003@1) CAnd (x32010@1)say its them who's really scared
G'Cause (320003@1)they know our love is stronger
D (xx0232@1) GThan (320003@1)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
