Standard tuning 
DmAll that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay aGlive
DmAll that we can do is just survive
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay aGlive
AmRagged lines of ragged gray
Skeletons, they shuffle awGay
Shouting guards and smoking gunGs
Will cut down the unlucky ones
Am
I cluAmtch the wire fence until my fiEmngers bleed
A wFound that will not heal
A hFeart that cannot feel
AmHoping that the horror wEmill recede
FHoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Am
Sickness to insanity
Prayer to profGanity
Days and weeks and months go Gby
Don't feel the hunger
Too weAmak to cry
AmI hear the sound of gunfire at the pEmrison gate
FAre the liberators here?
Do I hFope or do I fear?
AmFor my father and my brother, Emit's too late
But FI must help my mother stand up straight
DmAre we the last ones left alive?
Are we the only human beings to suGrvive?
DmAre we the last ones left alive?

Great song off "Grace Under Pressure"

Standard tuning

All that we can do is just survive

All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

All that we can do is just survive

All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive

Ragged lines of ragged gray

Skeletons, they shuffle away

Shouting guards and smoking guns

Will cut down the unlucky ones

Am Em

I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed

A wound that will not heal

A heart that cannot feel

Am Em

Hoping that the horror will recede

Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed

Sickness to insanity

Prayer to profanity

Days and weeks and months go by

Don't feel the hunger

Too weak to cry

Am Em

I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate

Are the liberators here?

Do I hope or do I fear?

Am Em

For my father and my brother, it's too late

But I must help my mother stand up straight

Are we the last ones left alive?

Are we the only human beings to survive?

Are we the last ones left alive?

Are we the only human beings to survive?

Am Em

I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate

Are the liberators here?

Do I hope or do I fear?

Am Em

For my father and my brother, it's too late

But I must help my mother stand up straight

Are we the last ones left alive?

Are we the only human beings to survive?

Are we the last ones left alive?

Are we the only human beings to survive?
