Drive the road to your surrender
Time comes around... out of my hands
Small boats on the beach at the dead of night
Come and go before first light
Leave me running in the wheel
King of the world

Verse 2 (as verse 1)

Been in pain for so long
I can't even say what hurts anymore
I will leave you alone
I will deny

So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight?
Tell me girl why you and me
Scared of sunlight?

All your spirit rack abuses
Come to haunt you back by day
All your Byzantine excuses
Given time, given you away
Don't be surprised when daylight comes
To find that memory prick your thumbs

You'll tell them where we run to hide
F#m
I'm already dead
E D
It's a matter of time

A B A B F#m C#

Chorus (as before)

So how do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight
How do we now come to be
Afraid of sunlight*

Day-Glo Jesus on the dash
Chalk marks on the road ahead
Friendly fire in hostile waters
Keep the faith
Don't lose your head

So how do we now come to be?
