INTRO: D/F#  G   Gadd9  (x8)


D/F#                           G  
    It's so quiet in the ruins,   
D/F#                             G
    walking through the old town,
D/F#                   G         
    Stones crumbling under my 
          D/F#                   G
feet, I see smoke for miles around,
D/F#                  G          
   Oh, it's enough to make you 
   D/F#                        G
weep,    all that remains of the 
main street,
D/F#                  G       
    Up in the park on Sunday, 
D/F#                        G
     dogs chasing, and the children 
playing,
F                  C          F 
  Old man with his head down,   
                  C     A
can't see nothing more around…, no!


D/F#  G                         
        But he remembers how it 
D/F#        G
used to be,   back in the old days,
Dsus4                           G
      So nice to see you coming 
                  Em
back in this town again,
                            C   
It's nice to see a friendly face 
              G
come peeping through,
            A
Having tea in the afternoon,
Dsus4                           G
      So nice to see you coming 
                  Em     C   G   A
back in this town again

D/F#                           G  
     Ah, but it's all changed,    
 D/F#                  G
      Winter turned on Man,
D/F#                           G 
     Came down one day when no 
                       D/F#        
one was looking, and it stole away 
       G
the land,
D/F#                      G      
    People running scared, losing
      D/F#                  G
 hands,  dodging shadows of  falling
 sand,
D/F#                        G    
    Buildings standing like   
                 D/F#         G
empty shells, and nobody helping no 
one else,
F                      C          
  Young child with his hands high,
F                      C      A
  ain't able to see no reason why…, 
no!



D/F#  G                          
         But he remembers how it 
D/F#        G

      So nice to see you coming

back in this town again,
                            C   
It's nice to see a friendly face 
               G
come peeping through,
                 A
You better know what you're going 
through, now!


A                   B7           
  You came back to find your home
      D
 is a black horizon,
     E7                  A     
That you don't recognise,   evil 
                  B7
destruction has taken everything,
D                          E7    
  You'd better walk on the side, 
                   A
while you're still walking,
             B7         D
Just keep on walking on down the 
street,
             E7                    
Keep your distance from the people 
    A
you meet,
                    B7          
Oh, Lord, and you'd better watch 
                       D
your eyes, 'cause, if smoke gets in 
them,
      E7
Baby, you won't rise again!
Dsus4                           G
      So nice to see you coming

back in this town again!

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