You Can Never Leave

 Am          E
Blue eyes of fire
 F                       C
sweet desire is bitter torture,
         G             C
You are no fathers daughter,
        G               C
No man has this much to offer,
 Am           E
Skin dark as sin,
          F             C
Soft and when, We took cover,
          G             C
From the rain, And the thunder,
       G                    C
Under stained glass we did slumber,
          G               C
Till the sun came out to blind us,
         Am        E   F
Till we could not see anything,
       Am       E           F        C
So we knew at once we were meant to be,
        F         C        F        C
And we heard the gods all rise and say,
     F       C          G
The love we made is no lie.


[Chorus]
         G                                     F       C
And the 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
        G
Such a sad sad thing i set you free,
        F             C
'Cuz I can't get you back.
         G             C
You are fire, you are water.
          G            C
When you dance, it is torture.
       G                 C                 Am        E      F
Maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon we can meet,


[Verse]
 Am        E                F                C
Tangled,  entwined, we have climbed, we have wrangled,
       G                    C
shiny sequins sparked and spangled,
     G                      C
Our hearts iron-cuffed and mangled,
 Am           E             F           C
We spent the night, By the side of the water,
          G                C
Past the breakers and the markers,
         G            C
We swam out into the darkness,
      G                     C
Till we could not feel the bottom.
         Am        E    F
Till we could not feel anything.
         Am        E              F      C
And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach,
        F          C            F     C
As the moon shone down and the ocean heaved,
     F        C           G
And darkness gave to the light.


[Chorus]
          G                                     F       C
And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
        G                                    F             C
Such a sad sad thing i set you free, 'Cuz I can't get you back.
         G             C
You are fire, you are water.
          G            C
When you dance, it is torture.
       G               C             Am           F
Maybe some day on the bottom of the ocean we can meet.
           Am         E          F     C
Though we know if we do, we can never leave,
          Am     E       F    C
'Cuz the moment that we turn away
     F         C
The gods will say
     F       C          G
The love we made was a lie.
