[Verse 1]
[E7]Let's write a story of, a title wave
[A]We run out of luck, we run out of days
[G]We run out of gas, hundred miles away
[E7]From a station
[A]There's a war and a plague yeah, smoke and disaster
[E7]Lions in the coliseum, screams of a laughter
[A]Motherless children, a witness and a bible
[G]Nothing but rain ahead and no chance for our survival
[E7]Just before the flood comes, just before the night falls
[A]Just before the blood runs into the valley
[G]Just before my eyes go, just before we can't go no further
[A]Love throws a line to you and me
[G]I heard someone calling me from very far away
[A]Sister oh sister, did I hear them say?
[E7]Prisoner of this endless story of pain
You hold the key, try to find the way
And just before the flood comes, just before the night falls
Just before the blood runs into the valley
Just before my eyes go, just before it all blows to pieces
You see love throw a line to you and me
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
On you and me
On you and me
On you and me
Love you better pick up your pace
If we're gonna win this race
Love we're running out of time
Pull yourself out from behind
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
Love throw a line
