Em           A
Why did you let me run
          Em                    A
When you knew I'd fall for the gaping hole
            Em           A C D#
Where your heart should be

Liar-couldn't cut me deeper with
a knife if you tried
Just take a look before you run off and hide
At your victim arise

G               D
Clouds on you shoulder
              F                  C
Aren't they grazed by the afterglow
G               D
How quiet they gather
           A#                C
When the storm is about to blow

Chorus:
    Em
No don't look away
Am              C   Bm
Caught in the crossfire
        Em
And it ain't no wind of change
Am               D                 Em
I'm talking of crime and passion's rage

Summer of madness or the undertow
Dragged me up an alley for the blossoming fire
On a stranger's smile
Bride of wire-how disguise so easily cracked
Saw your heart turn spade

This orchid's turned to black
Graze on your shoulder
Like the clouds in the afterglow
How quiet they gather
When the storm is about to blow

Chorus

Way down by the shoulder
In the haze of the afterglow
Stranded together
And the storm is about to blow

Chorus
