Look Away

INTRO:     A5   B5   E5   
           A5   B5   C#m  
           A5   B5   E5   A5   B5   C#m  
           A5   B5   C#m  
           E5   C#m  B5   E5

           C#m                   E
This time we run      This time we hide
           C#m                        E
This time we draw on all the fire we have inside
     B5   A5  B5              C#m
We need some time          To find a place
E5   B5   C#5        B5              E
Where I can wipe away the madness from your face
     
Our name is out            Our name is known
Our name is everywhere but who knows where we've flown
I never meant              To kill a man
But I will show you have to live like no-one ever can

N.C.    C#m                         B5
Look away, look away  Hide your eyes from the land where i lie cold
        C#m                       B5
Look away, look away  From the lies in the stories that were told
         C#5            B5      A5          F#5E5
Look away, look away  From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

I met you wild             In a snowed up town
I was waiting tied and bound to be sent down
Then I broke loose         You weren't around
So I raised banks and trains until I tracked you down

You followed me            When I said no
You lay with me when there was nowhere safe to go
We made some friends       But now it's done
I always knew that we would never catch the sun

Look away, look away  Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away  From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away  From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul

Look away, look away  Hide your eyes from the land where I lie cold
Look away, look away  From the lies in the stories that were told
Look away, look away  From the love that I hide way down deep in my soul
