D                           Bm 
Darlin', don't you understand? 
G5                        D 
That there are no winners? 
D                               Bm 
Or metals hung from silken strands 
G5                        D 
To greet you at the finish 
D                              Bm 
As we're dissolving into the sea 
G5                          D 
I only take what I can carry 
D                                       Bm 
As the council's combing through our debris 
G5                                
For the treasures we never buried 
 
D    Em     F#m   A    G5  
My love, why do you run? 
D    Em     F#m   A    G5 
For my hands hold no guns  
 
Darling though you may pretend 
Pretend that you are selfless 
You break with but the slightest bend 
That leaves you lost and helpless 
So to whom will you place the call? 
In the coldest night of winter? 
As numbers change and people fall 
And friends, they always splinter  
 
D   Em     F#m    A    G5 
My love, why do you run? 
D       Em   F#m   A    G5 
For my hands hold no guns 
D   Em       F#m   A   G5  
My love, why do you run? 
D       Em   F#m   A   G5 
For my hands hold no guns 
              F#m 
They hold no guns 
G5        D  
No, not one
