By Morning Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 These past twoG nights, we slept

 WithC skin, warm on skin

 And theG sirens in the hours beforeD dawn

 The weak grayG light too much

 ToC keep me thinking

 Your hands inG mine, enough

 ToD keep me feelingG strong

Chorus

 And if theyC come for us by morning

 With thatG knock knock on the door

 I willD feel your heart rate quicken

 As theyG reach the secondG7 floor

 And if IC have to give my name

 You know IG won't be givinEmg yours

 I'll run myG hands through yourD hair

 And say itsG them who's reallyC scared

 'Cause theyG know our love is stronger

 Than theirD bars will everG be

That afternoon, we sat

Cross legged in the backyard

As the smoke erased our pictures, dates, and names

So just one match, to burn

This poetic evidence

Just one glance, to see our fear reflected in the flames

Chorus

And if you called me up past midnight

Hear that clicking on the line

I would try to reassure you

That everything is fine

If you have to give your name

I hope you won't be giving mine

You'll run your hands

Through my hair

And say its them who's really scared

'Cause they know our love is stronger

Than their bars could ever be

Some nights you give 'em hell

Sometimes that's hell to pay

But they know damn well that we're not going away

We may be lying through our teeth

But we'll still say we are not afraid

And I swear I'll keep singing if they take you away

Chorus

Yeah if they come for us by morning

With that knock knock on the door

I'll hold you a little closer

As they reach the second floor

If I have to give my name

No I won't be giving yours

I'll run my hands through your hair

And say its them who's really scared

'Cause they know our love is stronger

Then their bars could ever be
