Am
you were wrong
  
                                   E
you let hell invade you and you let me go

     Am
love wants to be both gentle and cruel

               E
you were a fool, you should have known

Am
and would you wear berries in your hair

               E
for this battalion of lovers?

                      Am
and would you share this table
 
                               E
set among the stones of your brothers?


Am
I thought I had no wish to protect you, to conquer you

E
but now I have turned to you

Am
so leave death and come to me

                   E
you will see, i will leave no scar on you


[Chorus]

        G                             D
yes,for you were meant to be with me, here

                                          C
for we are built, trained, conditioned to disappear

                                           E
we shall stay in the shadows, in the meadows afire


as thieves for hire

G
and we shall remain invisible, for we travel light


for we do not rush toward the light

                  C
and we dance if we can with our eyes closed

              E
all along the borders, all along the road


[Verse]

Am
and we shall make our movements lighter

                   E
like the boys on the wire

Am
to regain the joy and fierceness

              E
of the essential man

Am
cool out here, beside me

              E
cool out in the sands of Spain

             Am                              E
cool out and wash yourself in milk again


[Chorus]

G
and now you shall moan and you shall weep

                               D
and you shall loathe the other cheek


my friend you cant pretend to know life in every breath

C
to wound my pride, to envy death

                                      E
you didn't come up with this cure and rest assured


your longings never seemed pure

G
and each time I will come
 

each time I will be another

D
a sinner, a saint, your enemy brother

                      C
I shall make you say please

E
I shall have you on your knees



wir haben unsere welt verloren
was übrig bleibt schleppen wir jetzt in koffern
durch halb europa
an alle welt uns ausgeschenkt!
vom leben unbesiegt
was uns eint ist der verzicht!



        G                             D
yes, for you were meant to be with me, here

                                          C
for we are built, trained, conditioned to disappear

                                           E
we shall stay in the shadows, in the meadows afire


as thieves for hire

G
and we shall remain invisible, for we travel light

                            D
for we do not rush toward the light

                  C
and we dance if we can with our eyes closed

              E
all along the borders, all along the road

Am
we shall make our movements lighter
