Gazing up at the stars

Watching my every move

the coals

Bridge 2
Em
By luck then a skirmish started
D/F#
Em
And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me
D/F#
Em
Was the moment that I fled
D/F#
I ran like hell faster than the wind
Em
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare
D/F#
Em
Was to look just straight ahead
