D      Em            Bm      G            Em
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            Em
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

      D      Em            Bm      G            Em
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            Em
My dice still roll in sixes and yours still turn up ones
      D      A            Em            G
And I have taken my good fortune and I've run and run
      E            G      E            G
But I always swore I'd come back for you
      E            G
Is it too late now to come back for you ?

      D      Em            Bm      G            Em
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6
      D      A            Em            G
We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge
      D      Em            Bm      G            Em
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      E            G
Well I always swore 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'll ever love
