[Intro]
| 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4  |
|=============|=============|
| Em7         | Em7         |

[Verse 1]
Em7                          
I'll bury the bodies with you
Cadd9                                   
Now I forgive you, it's time to ride out
               G                      
We're getting away, way, way, way, way
         D     Cadd9
From the city, mmm
Em7                        
Unfamiliar faces at the bar
Cadd9                                       
We drink to the rhythm of the swinging doors
           G                           
It's going down, down, down, down, down
         D                         Cadd9
Like the rapids of the holy Hudson River

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em7                           
I can be the razor in your hat
Cadd9                                  
You can be the blade that's got my back
    G                               
And when the good old darkness comes
                               D         Cadd9
I will keep you safe within my arms, oh, oh

[Chorus]
       Em7                         Cadd9 
'Cause you, you are my constant companion
              G   
You know it's true
      G                                     D     
Those silhouettes seen drifting through the canyon
G    C                         G/B        Am7     
Four guns hang on the sides of two white stallions
      C                             
Let's ride into the sun and watch it
Em    D/F#  G     Em/B  Cadd9
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Em    D/F#  G     Em/B  Cadd9
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn

[Instrumental]
| 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4  | 1  2  3  4  |
|=============|=============|=============|=============|
| Em7         | Em7         | Em7         | Em7         |

[Verse 2]
Em7                                      
Can you hear them coming in the distance?
    Cadd9                                    
The hunter's drumming hooves stalk our dreams
  G                                             
A love like ours don't have four walls or fences
           D               Cadd9
'Cause all we need, all we need

[Pre-Chorus 2]
   Em7                                          
Is somewhere safe to rest our head at night, mmm
Cadd9                         
Underneath a tapestry of stars
G                        
All you are is all I need
G                                        D     Cadd9
Home's the light that shines within your eyes, oh

[Chorus]
       Em7                         Cadd9     
'Cause you, you are my constant companion, oh
              G   
You know it's true
      G                                     D     
Those silhouettes seen drifting through the canyon
      C                             
Let's ride into the sun and watch it
Em    D/F#  G     Em/B  Cadd9
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Em    D/F#  G     Em/B  Cadd9   
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, oh

You know it's true
      G                                     D
