New Model Army - Never arriving

^G#mI drove you South through the landscape that you love ^G#mAll those medieval towns with theâcobbledâstones ^G#mWashed by theblood of the martyrs ^G#mIn the lastâgreat stand of the true believers

^G#mThe hilltop villages baking in the afternoon sun ^G#mThe walls pocked with old bullet holes ^G#mAnd the iron and the stone that broke the people's backs ^G#mAll played out for the tourists ^G#mI've always considered it best never to disturb ghosts ^G#mBut it seems that women always want to go straight to the heart of things ^G#mAnd as you said, you have your reasons

And the ^Eroads are like the lines in the palm of my ha^C#mnd Wearing deeper and div^G#miding And for ^E3am confessions the safest place that I ^C#mknow Is here between departing and ar^Briving but never ar^G#mriving

^G#mThere was that club we used to go to way out by the park ^G#mWhere the music was loud and the corners were dark ^G#mAnd we'd sit in those corners like some kind of witches coven

^G#mWe were so young and brave, always looking for trouble ^G#mIt's easy to find it when you're looking for trouble ^G#mWe'd take on all comers when no more would come we'd take on each other ^G#mSo when the phone call came I wasn't really so surprised ^G#mI set off with good intentions but soon I was lost ^G#mAnd the signs were all graffitied out and the compass needle spinning

And the ^Eroads are like the lines in the palm of my ^C#mhand Wearing deeper and di^G#mviding And for ^E3am confessions the safest place that ^C#mI know Is here between departing and ar^Briving but never arr^G#miving Never a^C#rriving ^E(7th) still still never ar^G#riving

And now I've ^Eseen the very worst that you could be^C#m And you'd have been the witness to the same of ^Bme Somehow it should be easy to for^G#mgive everything that happened

Back on the ^Eroads that are like the lines in the palm of my ^C#mhand Wearing deeper and di^G#mviding And for ^Ecowards like me the safest place that we ^C#mknow Is here between departing and ar^Briving but never ar^G#mriving Never ar^Eriving ^C#m Never ar^Briving Never ar^G#mriving
