Intro
D, A (x4)

Verse 1
  D            A               D      
A stupid me, I took a morning picture
(D)                 A               D   
To send to you ten thousand miles away
(D)            A             D
The yolky sun rising on the snowfield
      Bm                D              G
And I swore I wouldn't think of you today

Verse 2
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

Chorus
  G                    A
I know you'll break my heart again
D                 Bm
Somewhere on the northern plains
G                           A
Tired lovers left alone to lie
G               A
Far beyond the golden grave
   D           Bm
An emptiness I can't explain
    G                                 A
Our hearts are always broken in the sky
(N.C.)
As the northern plains go by

Instrumental
D, A (x2)

Verse 3
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

Chorus
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
                          G
As the northern plains go by

Bridge
(G)
I don't know where the moments go
      A
Or if love can be replaced
    G
And I don't know why the morning snow
   A
Reminds me of your face

Chorus
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

End on D
