Verse
Am
you were wrong
E
you let hell invade you and you let me go
Am
love wants to be both gentle and cruel
E
you were a fool, you should have known
Am
and would you wear berries in your hair
E
for this battalion of lovers?
Am
and would you share this table
E
set among the stones of your brothers?
Am
I thought I had no wish to protect you, to conquer you
E
but now I have turned to you
Am
so leave death and come to me
E
you will see, i will leave no scar on you
G D
yes,for you were meant to be with me, here
C
for we are built, trained, conditioned to disappear
E
we shall stay in the shadows, in the meadows afire
as thieves for hire
G
and we shall remain invisible, for we travel light
for we do not rush toward the light
C
and we dance if we can with our eyes closed
E
all along the borders, all along the road
Verse
Am
and we shall make our movements lighter
E
like the boys on the wire
Am
to regain the joy and fierceness
E
of the essential man
Am
cool out here, beside me
E
cool out in the sands of Spain
Am E
cool out and wash yourself in milk again
G
and now you shall moan and you shall weep
D
and you shall loathe the other cheek
my friend you cant pretend to know life in every breath
C
to wound my pride, to envy death
E
you didn't come up with this cure and rest assured
your longings never seemed pure
G
and each time I will come
each time I will be another
D
a sinner, a saint, your enemy brother
C
I shall make you say please
E
I shall have you on your knees
wir haben unsere welt verloren
was übrig bleibt schleppen wir jetzt in koffern
durch halb europa
an alle welt uns ausgeschenkt!
vom leben unbesiegt
was uns eint ist der verzicht!
G D
yes, for you were meant to be with me, here
C

as thieves for hire

for we do not rush toward the light

and we dance if we can with our eyes closed

all along the borders, all along the road

we shall make our movements lighter
