Capo 1 

G                           A 
All the towers of ivory are crumbling  

        G                            A 
And the swallows have sharpened their beaks  

G      A     D                   G 
This is the time of our great undoing  

            D                    G 
This is the time that I'll come running  

            Em 
Straight to you  

             G 
For I am captured  

            Em 
Straight to you  

            G 
For I am captured  

          D        G 
One more time

G                          A 
The light in our window is fading  

    G                     A 
The candle gutters on the ledge  

     G   A  D               G 
Well now sorrow, it comes a-stealing  

         D                          G 
And I'll cry, girl, but I'll come a-running  

            Em 
Straight to you 

            G 
For I am captured  

            Em 
Straight to you  

            G 
For I am captured  
        D     G

G                    A 
Gone are the days of rainbows  

G                               A 
Gone are the nights of swinging from the stars  

G   A   D                       G 
For the sea will swallow up the mountains  

        D                                G 
And the sky will throw thunder-bolts and sparks  

            Em 
Straight at you  

              G 
But I'll come a-running  

            Em 
Straight to you  

                G 
But I'll come a-running  

         D      G 
One more time

G                         A 
Heaven has denied us it's kingdom  

    G                               A 
The saints are drunk howling at the moon  

    G  A  D                    G 
The chariots of angels are colliding  

           D                        G 
Well, I'll run, babe, but I'll come running  

            Em 
Straight to you  

            G 
For I am captured  

            Em 
Straight to you 

           G 
For I am captured  

          D
