Intro G F#m x2 Verse 1
        G                   F#m
All the towers of ivory are crumbling 

        G                            F#m
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks 

G           D                   G
This is the time of our great undoing 

            D                    G
This is the time that I'll come running 

         D  A
Straight to you 

             G
For I am captured 

         D  A
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured

One more time 
D G A G A Verse 2
        G                      F#m
Now the light in our window is fading 

        G                        F#m
And the candlelit gutters on the ledge 

G    A   D                  G
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing 

    A    D                          G
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running 

         D  A
Straight to you

            G
For I am captured 

         D  A
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured 

A7    D     G
Once again 
D G Verse 3
G            A       F#m      G
Gone are the days of rainbows 

    G            A           F#m               G
And gone are the nights of a-swinging from the stars 

        D                       G
For the sea will swallow up the mountains 

    A   D                                G
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks 

         D  A
Straight at you 

                G
But I'll come a-running 

         D  A
Straight to you 

                G
But I'll come a-running 

A7       D      G
One more time 
D G A G A Verse 4
    G                         F#m
Now Heaven has denied us it's kingdom 

        G                             F#m               
And the saints, they're all drunk and howling at the moon 

        D                      G
And the chariots of angels are colliding 

      A    D                          G
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come a-running 

         D  A
Straight to you 

            G
For I am captured 

         D  A
