Capo 4

He lit a cigarette

I watched the fire burn it down

He doesn't know it yet

But there's fire in this town

And every thing I thought I'd be

Is burning right in front of me

G D

And everything I thought I would become

But in this world of ours

G D Am G D

We want freedom

G D Am G D

Water, earth, fire and oxygen

I move across the floor

He listens as the rain comes down

I see his face no more

I need this room without a sound

Suddenly the air is thin

I don't know where I will begin

G D

I'll bury all our dreams in the ground

In this world of ours

G D Am G D

We want freedom

G D Am G D

Water, earth, fire and oxygen

Dm Am G Dm

Somewhere darling

Am G

Somewhere no one knows

Dm Am G D

Maybe in our next life in this world of ours

G D Am G D

We want freedom

G D Am G D

Water, earth, fire and oxygen

G D Am G D

We want freedom

G D Am G D

Water, earth, fire and oxygen

He lit a cigarette

I watched the fire burn it down
