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
[Interlude] A Bm/A A Bm/A [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
[Outro] A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A Bm/A A
