Where do you run when your lifes on the line? 
Gm                      F          C 
Nowhere to cling to, to focus your mind

Noise in your brain

Words on the page

Bury the needle past marrow and bone 
Gm                       F              C 
Relax into meadows neath stars dead and gone 
Cm                Gm 
To cope with your loss

And pay off the cost

Though my love there was no place to hide

We both know that you tried 
     Gm        D 
Look down from above 
         F             C 
Find the ones that you loved

And keep them safe 
          Cm 
Keep them sound 
          D            Gm     C 
Keep them deep in your heart 
 

 
Gm                           F         C 
You read all the masters and verses of rhyme 
   Gm                       F           C 
In joining them you left us before your time 
    Cm        Gm 
But time is a waste 
  Cm                    A7 
Youth preserved on your face 
Gm                         F             C 
They say you hung from the boughs of the pines 
   Gm                   F        C 
An empty shell for your lover to find

Youre still alive in my mind 
Gm           D 
Lay down and rest 
     F          C 
Your head on my chest

I'll keep you safe

Keep you sound

Keep you deep in my heart
