Lyrics

(E)Lis ten to the wind blow,

watch the sun rise.

(E)Run in the shad ows,

damn your love, damn your lies.

And if (Am7)you don’t love me now, you will nev er love me a gain.

I can (Em)still hear you (C)say in’ you would (CN.C.)nev er break the chain.

And if (Am7)you don’t love me now, you will nev er love me a gain.

I can (Em)still hear you (C)say in’ you would (CN.C.)nev er break the chain, nev er break the chain.

(E)Lis ten to the wind blow,

down

comes the night.

(E)Run in the shad ows,

damn your love, damn your lies.

(E)Break the si lence,

damn the dark, damn the light.

And if (CN.C.)nev er break the chain.

And if (Am7)you don’t love me now, you will nev er love me a gain.

I can (Em)still hear you (C)say in’ you would (CN.C.)nev er break the chain, nev er break the chain.

(Am)Chain,

keep us to (Em)geth er.

Run nin’ in the shad ows.

(Am)Chain,

keep us to (Em)geth er.

Run nin’ in the shad ows.

(Am)Chain,

keep us to (Em)geth er.

Run nin’ in the shad ows.

(Am)Chain,

keep us to (Em)geth er.

Run nin’ in the shad ows.
