HERE ON THE GROUND
Intro:F Bb F Bb
F
Outside the door are the empty, the poor
Bb F C
Are the lives that are living no more
F
Some of them grievers or broken believers
Bb F C
Or used in some meaningless war
Bb C
Go see for yourself if you think it'll help
Dm Bb
But I just cannot go there no more
C Bb F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go outside the door
F
Down on the street there's a rhythm, a beat
Bb F C
You get caught up, you'll never get free
F
A humming of heat to a strumming of feet
Bb F C
You forget who you wanted to be
Bb C
And under the madness an echoing sadness
Dm Bb
That whispers you'll never be free
C Bb F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go down on the street
F
Out into the city, the gruesome, the gritty
Bb F C
The lovers, livers and lonely
F
Away from my eyes in the thick fog, the cries
Bb F C
Of the bleeding, broken and breaking
Bb C
Your name there is nothing, the street signs are bluffing
Dm Bb
They'll put you wherever they please
C Bb F
Oh Lord, I will not go into the city
Bb
I’m already jaded
C
Already I'm faded
Dm Bb
There's nothing to learn or to know
C F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go
F
Under the bridge there, the shadowy ridge there
Bb F C
That hides and is keeping us hid
F
Where nothing is growing nor sunlight is showing
Bb F C
Or shining on all that we did
Bb C
And the rumble of cars that goes bellowing past
Dm Bb
They're just running away with the wind
C Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go under the bridge
F
Out into the battle, they lead you like cattle
Bb F C
And even they got their own laws
F
You won’t be locked up there, nor shot or shocked up there
Bb F C
For shooting a man to the floor
Bb C
They train you and break you, and re-educate you
Dm Bb
But won’t tell you why or what for
C Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go into the war
F
Up into the sky where the great engines fly
Bb F C
Where they throw you and roll you like dice
F
We've conquered the moon with explosions and fumes
Bb F C
We have conquered the universe high
Bb C
But looking back down there's a reasoning sound
Dm Bb
That says nobody gets out alive
C Bb F
Oh Lord, I will not go into sky
Bb
There's no one around
C
Just the beckoning sound
Dm Bb
And there's no room to dream or to grow
C F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb
Oh Lord, I will not go (I will not go)
F
Here on the ground we are lost, we are found
Bb F C
We are lonely, we're spinning around
F
Away from the crowds and the armies of clowns
Bb F C
Away from the carnival sounds
Bb C
And out of the deep where the tectonic sleeps
Dm Bb
And darkness will follow you down
C Bb F
Oh Lord, just let me stay here on the ground
