A           E              Bm    
  I found a picture of you,      
  F#m       D
 ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
A          E                      
  Oh, what hijacked my world that 
Bm        F#m    D
night
A                   E            
To a place in the past we've been
        Bm       F#m    D
 cast out of, ohh oh oh
A    E                       Bm

A           E              Bm    
Circumstance beyond our control, 
  F#m       D
ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
A          E                     
Oh, the phone, the TV, and the 
Bm        F#m    D
news of the world
Continues after the ad
A                   E            
Got in the house like a pigeon 
     Bm         F#m     D
from hell, ohh oh oh ohh ohh
A    E                   
Threw sand in our eyes, and 
    Bm       F#m    D
descended like flies


[Chorus]

Bm                    E           
   Put us back on the train, yeah
Bm     E

[Bridge]

Am    E             Am      E  
  The powers that be   that 
                        Am
force us to live like we do
Am    E                          
  Bring me to my knees when I see
        Am                 E
 what they've done to you
Am           E                   
And I'll die as I stand here 
            Am                  E
today, knowing that deep in my heart
Am    E                     Am  
      They'll fall to ruin one 
        E               E
day, for making us part

days of my life
B          F#

your part, ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
B        F#

lonely heart
