Gm              Dm                F
Pale as winter, every splintered bone will fall
Gm                Dm        F
Our burning bridge will be a signal fire
Gm              Dm                F
But I will be gone, I will be gone by then

Gm              Dm                F
When I left, I dreamed us both as wild as sparrows
Gm              Dm                F
I wrote the state motto on my wrist

Gm                    Dm                F
Then I called to you, I called to you, into the thick blue night
Gm                Dm                     F
I called to you, I called to you, but I did not speak of love
Gm       Dm       F
Did not fold my hand, 
Gm     Dm        F
Did not lower my flag

Gm                    Dm              F
A time will come when we're no longer proud of such courage
Gm            Dm              F
I'll confess I do not wish to die alone, alone, alone
Gm                     Dm                F
Oh you covered me, you covered me, when I left my skin behind
Gm              Dm                F
You covered me, you covered me, but I did not speak of love
Gm              Dm      F
Did not know to say I needed you
Gm              Dm                F
Did not know I needed you
