G5
You're the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
           B5
You're the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
           C5
You're the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
         G5
You're a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare

G5
You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
           A5
You're the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
           D5
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them , fool them
And they hope so much
        G5
And you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop

G5
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  A5
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
     G5
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
A5                  
Only the brave surrender
D5
Death cannot tear us apart

Interlude: G5  A5  D5  G5

G5
Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
        B5
And the winter is colder
For me underneath
      C5
And I know that you glow
From the inside out
        G5
You can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without

G5
You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
        A5
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
D5                         G5
Start the day storm in my head
G5
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
       A5
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
           D5
You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell
                               G5
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time
G5
Your own pair of trousers look better on me
    A5
The boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
      D5
Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
      G5
Every feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming

G5
I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  A5
I don't mind dying
If you follow me up
G5
Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
A5
Only the brave surrender
D5                             G5
Death cannot tear us apart

G5
Well I wish we were animals free of loves games
  A5
I wish we were snails with really big shells
  D5
I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
    G5
I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired

G5
I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
      A5
You'd never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
   D5
In love there is freedom
But it must be returned
      G5
There must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
  G5
A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
   A5
In death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
        D5
And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
    G (let ring...)
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him

G5                  A5
Wild horses in the wilderness
     D5               G5
Will know no journey home
                          A5
Well my love is locked in chains
    D5          G5
The lion walks alone
            A5
Oh the lion walks alone
D5
Nature is cruel
       G5
But he knows it's his home
G5
He to his demons
    A5
And you to your own
D5
Please let me stand by you
          G5
And we'll conquer them all
G5       A5
We will conquer them all
   D5      G5
Oh I will conquer them all (x3)
