Em  C  G  C  G  C  G  Am  Em

Em        C              G
I saw you rushing to the fire
C               G            Am               Em
Balanced on the bones with a darkness in your eyes
Em                C           G
Our thoughts were crippled by desire
C           G         Am               Em                   
Suddenly gestalt just colliding in the light
Em      C                       G
I know, concentric rings in the bones aside,
      Am     Em
We've surely grown up
Em      C           G                    Am
I know, the lead to hands that wring and dry your eyes 
C               Em
Before it's too much

Em                C           G
Our thoughts were wicked by design
C               G          Am              Em               
If we could get home, then we could get us right
Em             C            G
I'll watch you wither up in time
     C            G               Am           Em
Then let you grow alone, just colliding in the light

C
Though in time
                       G
We were hanging on the subtlest sign
               Am
Waiting on the final cry
                   D
Just ringing out a sign
                     C                              Em
But tonight we're surprised if we're runners in the night

Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em
Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em

Em      C                       G    
I know, concentric rings in the bones don't lie
      Am           Em
We've surely grown up
Em      C                G                   Am
I know, these hands that wring they're gonna dry your eyes
C              Em
Before we give enough

C
Though in time
                       G
We were hanging on the subtle sign
               Am
Waiting on the final cry
                   G
But when you gonna dry your eyes
                       C
We were holding up the keep and more
                     G
After hanging on the final chord 
                        Am
"It'll be alright," his voice informed
                   D
Just ringing out a sign
                         C
But tonight, well you're mine,
                         Em
And we're runners in the night

Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em
Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em

          C
After the night and more
                     G
After hanging on the final chord
                       Am
"It'll be alright," he screamed and more
                   D
Just ringing out a sign
                         C
But tonight, well you're mine,
                         Em
And we're runners in the night

Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em
Em  C  G  C  G  Am  Em
