verse 1 
D#m            B 
   And on that day they'll tell you 
D#m                 B 
   That life hummed on with no clue 
D#m            B                 B                 C# 
   The warning signs were all dismissed or shouted down 
      D#m 
So it goes 
              B 
The kings all failed to tell us 
D#m           B 
   The madmen failed to sell us 
D#m              B               B              C# 
   On what would then befall the only life we'd know 

Refrain 1 
          G#m                     B 
Were they burning signal fires to guide us to the fields? 
   G#m                         B            C# 
Or building funeral pyres? The outcome of a final appeal

D#m                   F#                      G#m 
   The city lines are down the kerosene's run out 
                  A#       C#    D#m 
The fracturing of all we relied upon 
                         F#                     G#m 
Let's shed this unclean skin and start to feel again 
                          A#          C#      D#m B D#m B 
Because all the shoulders on which to cry are gone 

verse 2 
D#m        B              D#m                B 
   The paranoia gripped us   the rain turned engines to rust 
D#m          B             B             C# 
   The panic set in like a cancer to our hearts 
          D#m 
Spreading through 
          B            D#m              B 
We bet on finite genius   or prayed for gods to save us 
D#m                 B          B              C# 
   But there was no antidote disease tore us apart 

Refrain 2 
        G#m 
We left bodies in the fields 
   B               C# 
So numb that we forgot how to feel

D#m                   F#                      G#m 
   The city lines are down the kerosene's run out 
                  A#       C#    D#m 
The fracturing of all we relied upon 
                         F#                     G#m 
Let's shed this unclean skin and start to feel again 
                          A#          C# 
Because all the shoulders on which to cry are gone 

Bridge 
D#m B                 G#m                 D#m 
     He looked at the fields and then his hands 
      C#             B 
All I need is what I have 
            G#m          D#m 
Then fell a tear of happiness oh oh oh oh 
B                 G#m            D#m 
  She watched the world crumble away 
             C# 
"Is this the end of yesterday?" 
B         C#                 D# 
  "Lord I hope so" is all he said 
                 B 
All gone are the old guards 
G#m          D#m 
Gone are the cold cold wars 
F#            B 
Weightless we go forth 
   C#            D#m 
On wings of amnesty 
C# 
Oh we relied on now

   The city lines are down the kerosene's run out 
                  A#       C#    D#m 
The fracturing of all we relied upon 
                         F#                     G#m 
Let's shed this unclean skin and start to feel again 
                          A#                  C# 
Because all the shoulders on which to cry are gone 
D#m   F# 
   No more no more 
   G#m     A# 
No more no more 
   C#      D#m 
No more no more 
   F# 
No more no more 
   G#m 
No more no more 
    A#             C#           D#m 
The weight that we once felt is gone
