Em, G D Am Em G D In the city, she wakes, before the break of day, Am Em Cold water on her face, so lonely G D Between the glass and knife, she'd like to start a fire, Am C She'd burn the city down, she'd burn it all for love G D Can you see the people, staring at the steeples Am C Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely?

G D Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus, Am C Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely? Em, G D Am Am C G We're walking right beside the ones we used to fight, Em D Am The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white, C G We see for the first time, when we stop the fight, Em D C The flag is waving white, the flag is waving white G D Can you see the people, staring at the steeples Am C Wondering why they're so lonely, so lonely? G D Can you hear their voices, joining in a chorus, Am C Wondering why it's so lovely, so lovely? G D Am, C
