Refugees

[D]  [A]  [Em]

[D]Did[Bm] u h[A]ear[G] my whisper?
Said how I felt about you
Breathe in and out you
But they doubt I think about you.

[D]I f[Bm]elt [A]you[G] shiver,
When we climbed out the window.
Like a black widow,
Mother told me not to go.

[Em]Ah, [F#m]ah,       [D]
Can't stop the match and gasoline.
Ah, ah,
We are the refugees.

[D]Oh [D]our[A] lo[G]ve was so overwhelming it,
Took the neighbors I was the son that took the daughter.
Oh our joy it infected everyone
Ran like fire and took the children all children.

[D]And[Bm] as [A]we [G]came down
The blades of grass were bending
Under our bare feet,
Walking on to love and aging.

[Em]Ah, [F#m]ah,        [D]
Things are exactly how they seem.
Ah, ah
We are the refugees.

[D]We [A]Can      [G]         [Bm]             [A]
Years under feet
0, 2, 3
Mississippi
You and then and me

[D]We [Bm]ran [A]for[G] years there
Out shuffling in the darkness.
You were the compass
I was all the light that saved us.

Post-Chorus (x2): [A]  [G]  (x2)  [D]
Oh our love was so overwhelming it
Oh our joy it infected everyone
