E                 A 
She says wake up, it's no use pretending 
E                   A 
I'll keep stealing, breathing her 
E                 A 
Birds are leaving over autumn's ending 
E                 A                  B 
One of us will die inside these arms

A              B 
Eyes wide open 
A              B 
Naked as we came 
A                   B 
One will spread our 
A               E 
Ashes round the yard

E             A 
She says if I leave before you darling 
E                 A 
Don't you waste me in the ground 
E             A 
I lay smiling like our sleeping children 
E              A                     B 
One of us will die inside these arms

A              B 
Eyes wide open 
A              B 
Naked as we came 
A                   B 
One will spread our 
A               E 
Ashes round the yard
