VERSE 1
********
  D                                C
I look down the street but there's no one there
       G                         D            C
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air
  D                        C
I call out for life but my heart feels despair
           G                      D
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night
 
 
-------------------------
VERSE 2
********
    D                         F
The lights have all gone, the clothes are all torn
    G                       D
The people are gone but the victory's won
  D                          C
I call out for life but it's after the day
        G                        D
Now the people are gone just the city alone

CHORUS
*******
D                         C
Eyes look from the second floor
                   G
Down to the street below
                     D     C
Calm now the wind is slow
D                       C
See posters once on the wall
C                      G
Now washed away in the rain
             D
Peeling from buildings tall
 
G

VERSE 3
********
     D                           C
I'll follow you friends to where life never ends
         G                     D
Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend
D                         C
Time is like dust and the dust is like snow
      G                       D
As it covers the ruins of the life that you know
 
 
-------------------------
CHORUS
*******
D                              C
Trees once green now turned to stone
                       G
Objects that look like ghosts
                D      C
All of them overgrown
D                          C
Mist all sight and mind is blurred
                     G
Lie on your back and cry
                    D
Words uttered never heard
 
G

  D                                C
I look down the street but there's no one there
       G                         D           C
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air
  D                        C
I call out for life but my heart feels despair
           G                      D
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night

I call out for life but it's after the day
        G                        D
Now the people are gone just the city alone
