[Verse 1]

                    F   Dm                  C
Saw the night give way where the light was golden
              F    Dm               C
So I took my leave of all that I was holding
                 Am                       F
Darling come the day when your nightmares fall
                C                 E7                     Am
I'll be on that first plane home and we'll outrun them all
                   Dm
Well I guess it's sweet
                   G                    C
We still live like strangers in the street


[Verse 2]
                  F    Dm                C
It's the cruelest thing when the word is spoken
                F    Dm              C
I swear it's a sin to see you heartbroken
                 Am                       F
Darling come the day it's too much to breathe
                C                 E7                     Am
I'll hold this space for you and I won't let you leave
                Dm
I will keep the beat
                   G                    C
We'll still move like strangers in the street


[Verse 3]
                 Am             F
Darling come the time when you slip away
                C                 E7                     Am
I'll be that whispered word that hangs around your doorway
                Dm
Our tale complete
                   G                    C
We'll still dance like strangers in the street
