G                           A
All the towers of ivory are crumbling 

        G                            A
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks 

G      A     D                   G
This is the time of our great undoing 

            D                    G
This is the time that I'll come running 

            Em
Straight to you 

             G
For I am captured 

            Em
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured 

          D        G
One more time

G                          A
The light in our window is fading 

    G                     A
The candle gutters on the ledge 

     G   A  D               G
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing 

         D                          G
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running 

            Em
Straight to you

            G
For I am captured 

            Em
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured

G                    A
Gone are the days of rainbows 

G                               A
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars 

G   A   D                       G
For the sea will swallow up the mountains 

        D                                G
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks 

            Em
Straight at you 

              G
But I'll come a-running 

            Em
Straight to you 

                G
But I'll come a-running 

         D      G

G                         A
Heaven has denied us it's kingdom 

    G                               A
The saints are drunk howling at the moon 

    G  A  D                    G
The chariots of angels are colliding 

           D                        G
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running 

            Em
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured 

            Em
Straight to you

           G
For I am captured
