Intro  D Em
  Em
The bell boy brings you coffee,
             C
There are letters from every shore, 
              D
There are flowers of the season, 
             Em
Heels are capsized by the door.


You're well protected, 
              C
Cold as you must be to survive,
  D                     G   G/F# C
But I know somewhere behind your barricade,
             G   G/F#  Em
There's a love that can be made.

   Em
And in my blood
                 C
Your ghost is crying living tears
              D
And I can't switch them off
                     Em
Or turn them down or out.


You are a night flower,
      C
You bloom as I fade
          D
And you drag me in deeper,
   G   G/F#  C
Behind your barricade
           G    G/F#  Em
With the love that can be made,
   G   G/F#   C
Behind your barricade.
          G   G/F#  Em
Yes and how long can I stay?


And this addition of yourself,
            C
You don't believe in anymore.
              D  
We'll face the chat show at 8.30 
            Em
And we'll freeze in the applause.

Who am I to argue? 
            C
Here everybody must get paid.
         D
May you bloom forever,
   G   G/F#   C
Behind your barricade.


                 G  G/F#    Em
Looking for a love that can be made,
     G  G/F#   C
Behind your barricade.
         G   G/F#   Em 
Yes and how long can I stay,
   G   G/F#   C
Behind your barricade?
              G   G/F#  Em
Where true arrows seldom stray..
