(Intro)

Gm                      A#
Here I sit at Mary Ann's place
              Cm             F                Gm
Oh baby, the rain is always pouring when I'm here
                               A#
Saw the lightning caught your stone
              Cm         F                  Gm
Oh maybe the angels of tomorrow will let me go

D#                               A#
Still the crying hurts in your head
D#                               A#
Well, you're still beneath my feet
          D#
Well, oh God don´t seems to follow
          F                              Gm
Hear my prayers until tomorrow's settlement

Gm                         A#
Side by side with Lucy's stone
              Cm             F             Gm
You two are forever missing colours in my home
Gm                     A#
Do you think you can forgive
                  Cm              F
I know that your life has been a burden
          Gm
A living hell

D#                                A#
Still the crying hurts in your grave
D#                            A#
Well I'm still beneath your feet
D#                          A#
Have you looked into the sky?
D#                           A#
Well, oh God don't seem to mind
          D#      
Will the fire burn the flower
                      F                Dm
Or the angels sing tomorrow, when I'm near

            C          Am          F               G
Cause the drive-in is closing, the movies out of work
         C         Am           F             G
But the music is playing in my old Bett Betty Ford

Standing in the rain with one coin for a booth call, Oh Madeline
                    E                               F
The station told my that they didn't even know your name, FOR HELVEDE

E                                                F
Strolling to another city just to catch a song, oh Madeline
       E                                               F
The frequency is better, but I'm freezing on a parking lot, it never ends

C         Am              F             G
Broken by heartache but driven be her sound

Well a spell from the speakers was tearing my soul apart

Oh baby come home

Imens står solen over højen

Hoping the angels would carry you home

    C
Den sang tog mørket i sin pote
    F                            C
Den bar hans kvinde i dens kolde favn
               Am           G      F
Og lagde hende for hans dør i silkekjole

Hoping the angels would carry you home

           F                G
Leaving it all with my only friend
               C               F
Her beauty was lifeless on the stair

into the garden´s tale

Seing it all

blossom forever more

Hans skygge kastes ud i haven grøn

Forsvandt for evigt og uden en note

But darling just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
             C                  D
And in your eyes you’re holding mine

                C                                        D
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
           G             Em
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em 
We are still kids, but we’re so in love, fighting against all odds
                  C               G  D
I know that we’ll be alright this ti-ime

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
