Bm : X24432     Em7: 022033     Emsus: 022030     F# : 244222    
A7:  X02020 


Verse:
Bm                    Em7
Madeliene, should our story end
           Bm
With these aftermath music
Em7
My broken French?
Bm           Em7
Heal her, if you can 
         Bm
Pray the lions aren't waiting
Emsus
Take her hand


Chorus:
             G                   A7
I want to be brave, I want to be brave 
        D                Em
But the night goes up in flames
               D
The courage we need
   A7               Bm            Bm            Em7        F#
A fury to tame this madness, this madness, this madness


Verse:
    Bm                       Em7
And no more will I count the dead 
         Bm                 Em7
Bending, gathering words he should've said
    Bm              Em7
And night falls and scrapes his knees
             Bm
We watch the houses on fire
        Emsus
And she says to me


Chorus (as above)


Verse:
     D               D
Over time, luck runs out
            Em       A7
And fate is not your friend
     D               D
Over time, good must go
            Em         A7     Bm
And were we safe, safe yet?


Outro:
Bm
Madeliene 
      Em7
Can I escape again?
           Bm
Out of the dragonfly jar
   Em7
Am I safe yet?
