Lyrics

(Dm11)Ice,

your on ly (Bb6)riv ers run cold.

These cit y lights,

they shine as sil ver and gold dug from the (Dm11)night.

Your eyes (Bb6)as black as coal.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through, (Eb)walk (Ebsus2)’til you run, (Ebsus2)and don’t look (Bbsus)back,

for (Bbsus)here

I am.

Car ni (Dm11)val.

The wheels fly and the col ors spin through al co hol.

Red wine that (Bb6)punc tures the skin.

Face to face

in a dry and (Bb6)wa ter less place.

(F)Walk on (C)by, (F)walk on (C)through.

So (Eb)sad (Ebsus2)to be seige your (Ebsus2)love so

(Bb)head on.

(F)Stay

this time.

(F)Stay to (C)night (F)in a lie.

(Eb)I’m (Ebsus2)on ly ask ing, (Ebsus2)but I,

(Bb)I think you know.

(F)Come on, (Fsus2)take me a way.

(F)Come on, (C)take me a (Gm9)way.

Come on, take me home,

home a (Dm11)gain.

And (F)if the (Fsus2)moun tains should (F)crum ble

(F)or (C)dis ap pear in (Ebsus2)to the sea, (Ebsus2)not a tear, (Bb)no, not I.

(F)Stay

(Fsus2)in this time.

(F)Stay to (C)night (F)in a lie.

(Eb)Ev (Ebsus2)er (Eb)af (Ebsus2)ter,

(Bb)this love in time.

And (Bb)if you (F)save (Fsus2)your love,

save your,

(F)save it (C)all, don’t (Gm)push me too far.

Don’t (A7)push me too far

(Dm9)to night,

to night,

to night.
