[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]
