There's trouble in the towns

 If by tragic, you mean the end

 We weren't wrong, we were just hungry
For manna from Heaven

 And come and drown me in the infinite sea

 Show me mercy, miracle waters

 Make me golden, part of the dream

C       Em
 We got stung

             D
We were just lovers
Born of temptation

C                    Bm
 Spinning upside down

                           Em
In the wake of mighty waves

                          D
See the anger of the world

                      C
When feelings run high

When feelings are so raw

We will give in to the night
