Northern Plains

[D]  [A]

A [D]stupid me, I [A]took a morning p[D]icture
T[D]o send to you ten t[A]housand miles aw[D]ay
T[D]he yolky sun r[A]ising on the s[D]nowfield
And I [Bm]swore I wouldn't t[D]hink of you tod[G]ay

The frozen line takes me across the border
A hundred years of horses lead the way
Why do stubborn leaves turn forever colder?
There's nothing left to cling to anyway

I [G]know you'll break my [A]heart again
[D]Somewhere on the n[Bm]orthern plains
[G]Tired lovers left alone to l[A]ie
[G]Far beyond the g[A]olden grave
An [D]emptiness I [Bm]can't explain
Our [G]hearts are always broken in the sk[A]y
A[N.C.]s the northern plains go by

[D]  [A]

Holding on to ghosts gets you nowhere
You'll burn, forgetting quietly each day
I've never seen so far without an ocean
And I've never longed for something more to say

I know you'll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can't explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
As the northern plains go [G]by

I[G] don't know where the moments go
Or if [A]love can be replaced
And [G]I don't know why the morning snow
Rem[A]inds me of your face

But I know you'll break my heart again
Somewhere on the northern plains
Tired lovers left alone to lie
Far beyond the golden grave
An emptiness I can't explain
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by
As the northern plains go by
