Capo 1
[Verse]
G A
All the towers of ivory are crumbling
G A
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks
G A D G
This is the time of our great undoing
D G
This is the time that I'll come running
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
D G
One more time
[Instrumental]
D, G, Em, G, Em, G,
[Verse]
G A
The light in our window is fading
G A
The candle gutters on the ledge
G A D G
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing
D G
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
D G
Once again
[Instrumental]
D, G, Em, G, Em, G,
[Verse]
G A
Gone are the days of rainbows
G A
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars
G A D G
For the sea will swallow up the mountains
D G
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks
Em
Straight at you
G
But I'll come a-running
Em
Straight to you
G
But I'll come a-running
D G
One more time
[Instrumental]
D, G, Em, G, Em, G,
[Verse]
G A
Heaven has denied us it's kingdom
G A
The saints are drunk howling at the moon
G A D G
The chariots of angels are colliding
D G
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
Em
Straight to you
G
For I am captured
D
One more time
