I'm _ [D#m] sure we're _ _ stalling _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] I'd die to come sit by the fire
The [D#] curtain [D#m] is _ _ calling _ If _ _ _ _
[B] I [F#] were a boat [B] I'd sail [F#] where your beauty
[D#m] could blind me
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ But I [B] am only [F#] away, [B] I wait [D#m] for the _ [C#] blues _
_ [B] by
_ [F#] _
me _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Darling [B] it's down to [F#] the wire, [B] the _ [D#m] mercury's
_ _ rising _ The _ _ _ _ [F#]
stars [B] are about [F#] to retire [B] _ upon the [D#m] _ _ horizon _
If _ _ _ _ [B]
I were [F#] a boat [B] I'd name [F#] our love after [D#m] an _ ocean _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] But [B] I am only [F#] _ away, [C#] and this [D#m] is my _ [C#] only _
_ [B] _ _ [F#] motion, _
_ [D#m] _ _ [C#] only _
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] motion
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] I hear them playing [F#] our song _ In [C#] _ _
lands where [D#m] shadows are long
_ _ _ _ [B]
Places we used to [F#] be strong, [B] they're playing [C#] our _ song _ _ _
_ _ And are [B] you afraid?
Yes [F#] I'm afraid
_ Are we alone?
_ _ _ [D#m] _
Yes I'm [C#] afraid [B] we're alone _ _ _

Darling it's down to the wire, the _ [D#m] fire's a _ _ forest _
I _ _ _ _ _
[F#] can't tell the [B] chord from [F#] the choir, the [D#] choir [D#m] from the chorus _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
[B] If I [F#] were a boat I [B] would anchor my [F#] _
labors [D#m] _ inside you
_ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] But I [B] am only [F#] _ away, [B] I dream but [D#m] to drown [C#] _ _
[B] beside _ _ [F#] _
you, [D#m] drown _ [C#] _ _
[B] beside _ _ [F#] _
you _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] I hear them playing [F#] our _ song, _ _ [C#] _
hysteria _ clinging [D#m] to dawn
_ _ _ [B] _
Places we used to [F#] belong, [B] they're playing [C#] our _ song _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] I hear them playing [F#] our song, _ _ [C#] long after [A#] the embers [D#m] are gone
_ _ _ [B] _
Places our love was all wrong, they're playing [C#] our song _ _ _ _
_ And are you [B]
afraid? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Yes [F#] I'm afraid _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Are we [B] alone? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A#m] _
Yes [C#] I'm afraid we're [F#] alone _ _ _
