[Intro]
 Dm   Am   Bbx2
[Verse 1]
So they Dmcame one by one,
There was nevAmer any waBbrning,
DmBled out the stuck pig fields Amlike it was gonna last, loBbng,
And DmI saw the whole rise,
I saw Amthe whole thing fall, dowBbn,
And Dmall flesh spun, a Amlattice of it reaching Bbout
[Chorus]
And DmI’m left holding my head, Amlooking down at every graBbve,
And Dmall millennia pasAms just a flicker in a wave,Bb  
And DmI’ve seen more villages buAmrn than animals bornBb,
I’ve Dmseen more towers come doAmwn than children grow Bbup
[Verse 2]
DmCross the peaks, cross the marsh
Cross Amyour fingers for Bbthe last time,
And Dmpass out the blame to someone,
And Amnever stepping up, Bbson!
DmNobody’s asking; “Why is youAmr head bent down? BbSo?”
There’s Dmtrillions lost, I’m dreaming of a Amdifferent Bbtime
[Chorus]
And DmI’m left holding my head, lookiAmng down at every graBbve,
And Dmall millAmennia pass just a flicker in a Bbwave,
And I’ve Dmseen more villages burn than aAmnimals bBborn,
I’ve Dmseen more towers come down than cAmhildren gBbrow up
[Interlude]
   Dm     Am    BbWoaaah
   Dm     Am    BbWoaaah
   Dm     Am    BbWoaaah
   Dm     Am    BbWoaaah
[Chorus]
And DmI’m left holding my head, looking down at every gAmrave,Bb  
And Dmall millAmennia pass just a flicker in a Bbwave,
And I’ve Dmseen more villages burn than aAmnimals bBborn,
I’ve Dmseen more towers come down than cAmhildren gBbrow up

[Intro]

Dm Am Bb

[Verse 1]

So they came one by one,

Am Bb

There was never any warning,

Dm Am Bb

Bled out the stuck pig fields like it was gonna last, long,

And I saw the whole rise,

Am Bb

I saw the whole thing fall, down,

Dm Am Bb

And all flesh spun, a lattice of it reaching out

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,

Dm Am Bb

And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,

Dm Am Bb

And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,

Dm Am Bb

I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

[Verse 2]

Cross the peaks, cross the marsh

Am Bb

Cross your fingers for the last time,

And pass out the blame to someone,

Am Bb

And never stepping up, son!

Dm Am Bb

Nobody’s asking; “Why is your head bent down? So?”

Dm Am Bb

There’s trillions lost, I’m dreaming of a different time

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,

Dm Am Bb

And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,

Dm Am Bb

And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,

Dm Am Bb

I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

[Interlude]

Dm Am Bb

Woaaah

Dm Am Bb

Woaaah

Dm Am Bb

Woaaah

Dm Am Bb

Woaaah

[Chorus]

Dm Am Bb

And I’m left holding my head, looking down at every grave,

Dm Am Bb

And all millennia pass just a flicker in a wave,

Dm Am Bb

And I’ve seen more villages burn than animals born,

Dm Am Bb

I’ve seen more towers come down than children grow up

[Outro]

Dm Am Bb
