Shall (A minor) we douse out the flames
or will (F major) everybody fuse
And (A minor) leave us stranded here to (F major) morrow

a (F major) cry from the heart
From the (A minor) towns of cement and the (F major) beauty
A (A major) whisper its turned howl,
(A minor) (F major) man he didn't know
He was (A major) standing waiting for (A minor)
to (F major) morrow (C major)
