F                                          Em
There's storm clouds amassing over in the west up above the moor
    F                                              Em
The city shines in grey, mills closing down on the valley floor
            F             Em       F                        G
All you can do here is survive, oh grit your teeth and just stay alive
    Am    G
And never understand

Em    D    Em    D (x2)


[Verse 2]
    F                                                         Em
The young ones they dance with fire in their hearts until the years go by
    F                                           Em
Til older, defeated they stare in their beer at closing time
   F                             Em
No greater love could there ever be
            F                      G
Than what I feel for you, what you gave to me
    Am       G
You saved my life from this

      F                                                         Em
While kings are in their counting houses, people just wait here    in silent rows
     F                                                     Em
They spat and they jeered in a last desperate fear as they watched us go
         F                        Em
Oh now remember how we turned and ran
     F                          G
Yeah head into the wind running hand in hand
    Am       G
We laughed until we cried

                  So many tears . . .

           Aahhh  so many tears. . .
