D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
They found us in the courtyard at our table     in the shade
      D5      A5            E5            G5
We toasted our last few moments and then the end came
      D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
They took us back to the airstrip in that beaten up old car
      D5      A5            E5            G5
And we rattled across the African scrubland     in silence
      E5            G5      E5            G5
Our hands locked together with cold steel cuffs
            E5            G5
Sometimes I wish it was still that way

      D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
Now a whole world has died since then, so many faithless days
      D5      A5            E5            G5
I was born alone and lucky and I'm just used to it that way
      D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
My dice still roll in sixes and yours still turn up ones
      D5      A5            E5            G5
And I have taken my good fortune and I've run and run
      E5            G5      E5            G5
But I always swore I'd come back for you
      E5            G5
Is it too late now to come back for you ?

      D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
Now beneath this lonely junction on the northbound M6
      D5      A5            E5            G5
We spray our words of signature on the concrete bridge
      D5      E5            B5      G5            E5
And between the words of wisdom and the slogans of despair
      D5      A5            E5            G5
Someone's just gone and written 'I'm sorry' there
      E5            G5      E5            G5
Well I always swore I'd come back for you
      E5            G5
Is it too late now to come back for you?
      E5            G5
You're the only one I'll ever love
