[Intro]
D, A (x4)

[Verse 1]
  D (xx0232@1)          A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1)    
A stupid me, I took a morning picture
(D)                 A (x02220@1)             D (xx0232@1) 
To send to you ten thousand miles away
(D)            A (x02220@1)           DThe (xx0232@1)yolky sun rising on the snowfield
      Bm (x24432@1)              D (xx0232@1)            GAnd (320003@1)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]
  G (320003@1)                  AI (x02220@1)know you'll break my heart again
D (xx0232@1)               BmSomewhere (x24432@1)on the northern plains
G (320003@1)                         ATired (x02220@1)lovers left alone to lie
G (320003@1)             AFar (x02220@1)beyond the golden grave
   D (xx0232@1)         BmAn (x24432@1)emptiness I can't explain
    G (320003@1)                               AOur (x02220@1)hearts are always broken in the sky
(N.C.)
As the northern plains go by

[Instrumental]
D, A (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
                          GAs (320003@1)the northern plains go by

[Bridge]
(G)
I don't know where the moments go
      AOr (x02220@1)if love can be replaced
    GAnd (320003@1)I don't know why the morning snow
   AReminds (x02220@1)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]
