[Verse 1]

A                        Bm/A
  When you hide away the daylight
    A                  Bm/A
The thief, he comes to rob you
A                      Bm/A
  With arms stretched out like a cousin
    A                 Bm/A
You swore you’ve only seen once
A                  Bm/A
  Approaching with caution
   A                   Bm/A
So quick, he gets your name wrong
A                Bm/A
  Your singing betrays you
A                       Bm/A
  And still you want to go on

[Verse 2]

A                       Bm/A
  But you’re no fool, Maria
A                              Bm/A
  With your half-moon crescent eyelids
A                 Bm/A
  Dipping like a curtain
A                         Bm/A
  That lets you know it’s over

[Verse 3]

A                         Bm/A
  We are fiction as it’s written
A                     Bm/A
  The bleeding ink on paper
A             Bm/A
  Quiet as an aeroplane
  A                Bm/A
Before it hits the mountain

[Chorus]

A        Bm/A
  We are song
A        Bm/A
  We are gone

[Verse 4]

A                      Bm/A
  If I said that I had chose this
A                   Bm/A
  I then would be a liar
A                  Bm/A
  I am only living sentences
          A             Bm/A
That were long before I got here

[Verse 5]

A                      Bm/A
  And you are proof in flesh
     A                Bm/A
That God Himself is behind this
A                         Bm/A
  You don’t need to understand
A                    Bm/A
  But truly you must live it

[Verse 6]

A                      Bm/A
  And I want you to be free
A                     Bm/A
  And I want to be at ease
A             Bm/A
  Naked as in Eden
  A                   Bm/A
Before there was the thief

[Verse 7]

A                      Bm/A
  It’s true that I had visions
A                        Bm/A
  It’s true that I heard voices
A                     Bm/A
  My mind was a tired earthquake
A                                Bm/A
  When my thoughts were breaking dishes
A              Bm/A
  Falling into pieces
A                         Bm/A
  And running towards the exit
A               Bm/A
  Keeping my composure
     A                  Bm/A
As I saw the landscape split
   A
In two
