VERSE 1
G Emadd9 Bm7
Mother doesn't know where love has gone,
Cadd9 Em Fadd9 C
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
G Emadd9 Bm7
I see it in her face thats turned to ice,
Cadd9 Em C D
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice,

C Dsus2 G Dadd9/F# Em
and I know, what they're saying, as our sun begins to fade,
C Am7
and we made our love on wasteland,
D G
and through the barricades,

I learned it off by heart and now thats torn in two,
CHORUS
C Dsus2 G Dadd9/F# Em
and now I know what they're sayin' in the music of the parade,
C Am7
and we made our love on wasteland,
C Fadd9 F Fadd9 F Cadd9 C Cadd9 C G
and through the barricades,

G Emadd9 Bm7
Born on different sides of life,
Cadd9 Em Fadd9
we feel the same and feel all of this strife,

so come to me when I'm asleep,
