[Intro]
D5 , A5 (x4)

[Verse 1]
  D5            A5               D5      
A stupid me, I took a morning picture
( D5 )                 A5               D5   
To send to you ten thousand miles away
( D5 )            A5             D5
The yolky sun rising on the snowfield
      B5                D5              G5
And I swore I wouldn't think of you today

[Verse 2]
The frozen line takes me across the border
A hundred years of horses lead the way
Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder?
There's nothing left to cling to anyway

[Chorus]
  G5                    A5
I know you'll break my heart again
D5                 B5
Somewhere on the northern plains
G5                           A5
Tired lovers left alone to lie
G5               A5
Far beyond the golden grave
   D5           B5
An emptiness I can't explain
    G5                                 A5
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
(N.C.)
As the northern plains go by

[Instrumental]
D5 , A5 (x2)

[Verse 3]
Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere
You'll burn, forgetting quietly each day
I've never seen so far without an ocean
And I've never longed for something more to say

[Chorus]
I know you'll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can't explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
                          G5
As the northern plains go by

[Bridge]
( G5 )
I don't know where the moments go
      A5
Or if love can be replaced
    G5
And I don't know why the morning snow
   A5
Reminds me of your face

[Chorus]
But I know you'll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can't explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by

[End on D]
