Look out across the fields, see me returning

Am                               F
Smoke is in your eye, you draw a smile

         F                                     Am
From the fireplace where my letters to you are burning

C                                       E
You’ve had time to think about it for a while

Well, I’ve walked two hundred miles, look me over

It’s the end of the chase and the moon is high

It won’t matter who loves who

You’ll love me or I’ll love you

[Verse 2]
      Am                                       Am
I can see through your walls and I know you’re hurting

Am                          F
Sorrow covers you up like a cape

     F                                 Am
Only yesterday I know that you’ve been flirting

       C                            E
With disaster that you managed to escape

  Am                            Am
I can’t provide for you no easy answers

Am                                F
Who are you that I should have to lie?

You’ll know all about it, love

      Am                                    Am
I can hear your trembling heart beat like a river

              Am                                  F
You must have been protecting someone last time I called.

           F                                    Am
I’ve never asked you for nothing you couldn’t deliver

           C                                  E
I’ve never asked you to set yourself up for a fall

      Am                                    Am
I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness

        Am                                      F
For the love of a lousy buck, I’ve watched them die

 When the night comes falling from the sky
[Verse 4]
        Am                            Am
In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection

              Am                                           F
It was on the northern border of Texas where I crossed the line

        F                                Am
I don’t want to be a fool starving for affection

        C                               E
I don’t want to drown in someone else’s wine

         Am                       Am
For all eternity I think I will remember

     Am                              F
That icy wind that’s howling in your eye

         F
You will seek me and you’ll find ...

          G                 | Am | F |
Me in the wasteland of your mind

 When the night comes falling

Am                    F
 When the night comes falling

[Interlude] | Am | F | Am | F | [Verse 5]
      Am                          Am
Well, I sent you my feelings in a letter

    Am                       F
But you were gambling for support

F                                 Am
 This time tomorrow I’ll know you better

C                        E
When my memory is not so short

Am                       Am
This time I’m asking for freedom

Am                               F
Freedom from a world which you deny

           F
And you’ll give it to me now

I’ll take it anyhow
