           G 
You're the nose on my bullet 
The trigger on my gun 
           B 
You're the sandbank in the ocean 
Oxygen in my blood 
           C 
You're the fastest of the fish 
You're the prickliest pear 
         G 
You're a chameleon in the night 
You're the sahara's sun glare 

G 
You're my mind's rest 
You're the strings on my guitar 
           Am 
You're the wax in my moustache 
The keys to my car 
           D 
You're the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion 
You cool them, fool them 
And they hope so much 
        G 
And you let them down 
And you watch from your rock 
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop 

G 
I will keep on loving 
'Cos I believe in love 
  Am 
I don't mind dying 
If you follow me up 
     G 
Your victory's your defeat 
Your head above your heart 
Am                   
Only the brave surrender 
D 
Death cannot tear us apart 

Interlude: G  Am  D  G 

G 
Well my smile is wider 
Than your's when we meet 
        B 
And the winter is colder 
For me underneath 
      C 
And I know that you glow 
From the inside out 
        G 
You can keep it for yourself 
And I'll go without 

G 
You are the fire and I'm the chimney 
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory 
        Am 
All the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen 
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness 
D                         G 
Start the day storm in my head 
G 
Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase 
       Am 
You're positively 4th street isolated in my itunes 
           D 
You're the word in the dictionary that I can't spell 
                               G 
Can't describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time 
G 
Your own pair of trousers look better on me 
    Am 
The boots of spanish leather 
And the bottom of the sea 
      D 
Every symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning 
      G 
Every feeling, every sensation 
Only real when I'm dreaming 

G 
I will keep on loving 
'Cos I believe in love 
  Am 
I don't mind dying 
If you follow me up 
G 
Your victory's your defeat 
Your head above your heart 
Am 
Only the brave surrender 
D                             G 
Death cannot tear us apart 

G 
Well I wish we were animals free of loves games 
  Am 
I wish we were snails with really big shells 
  D 
I wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild 
    G 
I'd command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired 

G 
I'm the elephant in the circus 
Oh, you're my trainer 
      Am 
You'd never let me go 
But if you did I would stay here 
   D 
In love there is freedom 
But it must be returned 
      G 
There must be sacrifice 
Love must be learnt 
  G 
A donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work 
   Am 
In death he rests his head from his reins 
No burden to bare but work left him lame 
        D 
And the lion on the mountain chased from his pride 
His lioness stolen, his rival survives 
    G (let ring...) 
The sound of his cubs in death are dim 
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him 

G                  Am 
Wild horses in the wilderness 
     D               G 
Will know no journey home 
                          Am 
Well my love is locked in chains 
    D          G 
The lion walks alone 
            Am 
Oh the lion walks alone 
D 
Nature is cruel 
       G 
But he knows it's his home 
G 
He to his demons 
    Am 
And you to your own 
D 
Please let me stand by you 
          G 
And we'll conquer them all 
G       Am 
We will conquer them all 
   D      G 
Oh I will conquer them all (3x)
