Verse 1: 
 
C                      C 
she nursed him there, over a night 
C                    C 
i wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay 
C               C 
what to say...what to say 
C                      C 
but soon she was down, soon he was low 
C      C     C     C 
at a quarter past...a holy no... 
C C C C C C            G 
she had to turn around 
G        C             G 
when she couldn't hold, oh...she folded... 
G           C 
a dissident is here 
G                   C 
escape is never, the safest path 
G               G 
a dissident, a dissident is here
 
Verse 2: 
C               C 
and to this day, she's glided on 
C               C 
always home but so far away 
C 
like a word misplaced 
C             C 
nothing said, what a waste 
C                    C 
when she had contact...with the conflict... 
C                           C 
there was meaning, but she sold him to the state
