Intro: G  C  G   C 

G                                                  C  
From the dying arms of twilight, lets run into the night 
     G                                       C 
Lets fly like straight shot arrows across the sky 
         G                          C          
From the ashes of an old life, lets catch the newborn flames 
G                             C 
Hold it close and never let it die 

Am7        D      G             C 
Go with me Joanna, go with me in time 
Am                 D          G 
A pair of chancers on an open road 
Am7                     D         G                  C 
We’ll train our feet to follow the footprints of our dreams 
Am       D                         G        C           G           C 
Put your hand in my hand and let’s go 

G                                  C 
Lets sail upon the evening now the wind is getting high 
    G                                      C 
Lets step outside and drink in the air like wine 
     G                                    C 
This time we’ll make a clean break they’ll be no looking back 
     G                                 C 
We’ll leave these streets of sorrow far behind 

Am7        D        G             C 
Go with me Joanna , go with me in time 
     Am       D                G   
Lets get away before we get too old 
     Am7            D        G              C 
We’ll cut across the border, into unclaimed land 
Am              D                 G 
Put your hand in my hand and let’s go 


Bridge:
 
Em                 C        D 
Somewhere there’s a place to go 
Em                  C      D 
Where all we have is all we need 

G                          C       
Maybe there’s a reason that lies beyond these walls 
G                            C 
Maybe there’s a meaning to be found 
       G                                 C 
Because I cant escape this feeling , this vision in my mind 
      G                               C  
Of the day we put down roots in virgin ground 

Am7        D        G             C 
Go with me Joanna , go with me in time 
Am                      D            G 
I’ll take you where the wild flowers grow 
Am7                       D            G                   C          
We’ll ride on through the darkness , and get there with the dawn 
Am               D                          G 
Put your hand in my hand              and let’s go
