INTRO: D/F# G Gadd9 (x8)
D/F#GD/F#G
It's so quiet in the ruins, walking through the old town,
D/F#GD/F#G
Stones crumbling under my feet, I see smoke for miles around,
D/F#GD/F#G
Oh, it's enough to make you weep, all that remains of the main street,
D/F#GD/F#G
Up in the park on Sunday, dogs chasing, and the children playing,
FCFCA
Old man with his head down, can't see nothing more around…, no!
D/F#GD/F#G
But he remembers how it used to be, back in the old days,
Dsus4GEm
So nice to see you coming back in this town again,
CG
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through,
A
Having tea in the afternoon,
Dsus4GEmCGA
So nice to see you coming back in this town again

D/F#GD/F#G
Ah, but it's all changed, Winter turned on Man,
D/F#GD/F#G
Came down one day when no one was looking, and it stole away the land,
D/F#GD/F#G
People running scared, losing hands, dodging shadows of falling sand,
D/F#GD/F#G
Buildings standing like empty shells, and nobody helping no one else,
FCFCA
Young child with his hands high, ain't able to see no reason why…, no!
D/F#GD/F#G
But he remembers how it used to be,
Dsus4GEm
So nice to see you coming back in this town again,
CG
It's nice to see a friendly face come peeping through,
A
You better know what you're going through, now!
AB7D
You came back to find your home is a black horizon,
E7AB7
That you don't recognise, evil destruction has taken everything,
DE7A
You'd better walk on the side, while you're still walking,
B7D
Just keep on walking on down the street,
E7A
Keep your distance from the people you meet,
B7D
Oh, Lord, and you'd better watch your eyes, 'cause, if smoke gets in them,
E7
Baby, you won't rise again!
Dsus4GEmCGA
So nice to see you coming back in this town again!

D/F#GD/F#G
Where's it leading to? Freedom at what cost?
D/F#GD/F#G
People needing more, and more, and it's all getting lost,
D/F#GD/F#G
I want back! I want back!
D/F#G
Back to the time when the earth was green,
D/F#G
There was no high walls, and the sea was clean!
FCFCAD/F#GD
Don't stop that sun to shine, it's not yours or mine…, no!
