They found us in the [D]courtyar[Em]d at our[Bm] table in the sha[G]de[Bm]
We [D]toasted our [A]last few [Em]moments and then the [G]end came
They [D]took us [Em]back to the [Bm]airstrip, in that [G]beaten up old [Bm]car
And we [D]rattled across the [A]African [Em]scrubland in [G]silence
Our [E]hands locked to[G]gether with [E]cold steel [G]cuffs
Some[E]times I wish it was [G]still that way

Now a [D]whole w[Em]orld has [Bm]died since then, so [G]many faithless [Bm]days
I was [D]born al[A]one and [Em]lucky and I'm just [G]used to it that way
My [D]dice still [Em]roll in si[Bm]xes and [G]yours just turn up [Bm]ones
And I ha[D]ve taken[A] my good [Em]fortune and I've r[G]un, yes I've run
But I [E]always swore that I'd come [G]back for you
Is it [E]too late now to come [G]back for you

Now be[D]neath this l[Em]onely junc[Bm]tion on the n[G]orthbound [Bm]M6
We [D]spray our [A]words of sig[Em]nature on the con[G]crete bridge
And betw[D]een the w[Em]ords of w[Bm]isdom and the sl[G]ogans of des[Bm]pair
[D]Someone's just [A]gone and written "[Em]I'm sorry" [G]there
Well I a[E]lways swore that I'd come [G]back for you
Is it [E]too late now to come [G]back for you
You're the [E]only one I will [G]ever love...
