  A		  D		  A   Asus2
Beside me now are strangers to my eyes
     A		      D              A   Asus2
They might be getting crazy might be wise
      E7		     F#m
We're stranded either way in such a lonely place
    E7
I'm looking out for you
 F#m		     G
Among the flies that wait in line for days on end
    E7                              Asus2
And nights so cold and always so intense.


VERSE:
I try to reach the top most every day
In hope I turn my face up to the sky
The cover hangs so low
I see no sign of life
Nothing springs to mind
Among the flies that wait in line
For days on end and nights so cold, it's always so intense


CHORUS:
Chords:
A      x02220    D  xx0232
Em7/G  3x0000    E7 020130
F      x33211

    A       Em7/G
And here we are
F				    D     E7
There's a smile between us and it's going on


VERSE:
You and me have always gotten through
Anyone can tell you that it's true
You feel it every time you drive away from home
The headlights hypnotise 
And they take you off towards the sea
Into the night you run away with thoughts you cannot hide


CHORUS:
Vacant eyes can't describe my hunger
For your billowing arms

Mother I     can't help thinking of you

Take this dull ache away.
