Dsus4

C (x32010@1) the sky was murder red
Dsus4
  the streets were headstone gray
Bb (x1333x@1) a flaming ferris wheel
C (x32010@1)                          Bb (x1333x@1) spun where the sun used to be

Dm (xx0231@1) i saw my lover chased
A7 (x02020@1) through fields of sugarcane
C (x32010@1) she clutched her belly close
Dsus4
  and whispered, "keep us safe"

A7 (x02020@1)
  in a resort hotel
C (x32010@1) above a golden coast
