By Morning by Evan Greer

By Morning – Evan Greer

              G
These past two nights, we slept
    C 
With skin, warm on skin
       G                          D
And the sirens in the hours before dawn
             G
The weak gray light too much
  C                
To keep me thinking
             G
Your hands in mine, enough
  D               G
To keep me feeling strong

Chorus:
           C
And if they come for us by morning
         G (pm)
With that knock knock on the door
      D
I will feel your heart rate quicken
       G                G7
As they reach the second floor
        C
And if I have to give my name 
          G              Em
You know I won't be giving yours
           G                  D
I'll run my hands through your hair
           G                 C
And say its them who's really scared
           G
'Cause they know our love is stronger 
          D              G
Than their bars will ever be


That afternoon, we sat
Cross legged in the backyard
As the smoke erased our pictures, dates, and names
So just one match, to burn
This poetic evidence
Just one glance, to see our fear reflected in the flames
Chorus:
And if you called me up past midnight
Hear that clicking on the line
I would try to reassure you
That everything is fine
If you have to give your name
I hope you won't be giving mine
You'll run your hands
Through my hair
And say its them who's really scared
'Cause they know our love is stronger
Than their bars could ever be


Some nights you give 'em hell
Sometimes that's hell to pay
But they know damn well that we're not going away
We may be lying through our teeth 
But we'll still say we are not afraid
And I swear I'll keep singing if they take you away

Chorus:
Yeah if they come for us by morning
With that knock knock on the door
I'll hold you a little closer
As they reach the second floor
If I have to give my name 
No I won't be giving yours
I'll run my hands through your hair
And say its them who's really scared
'Cause they know our love is stronger 
Then their bars could ever be…
