Verse 1
(G major) Lost in a crazy place,
home to where all the rejects live.
Peace does not exist in this space
for fate did not prove to forgive.
I've heard legends of darkness
and glory.
Everybody knows the part of the story
where night rules the day
and death (C major) takes another victim as prey.
(G major) Depression drained the
strong of (C major) their strength
and captivity killed freedom
(G major) with acts of hate.
This (C major) part of the (G major) legend
is not hard to believe
as these things happen even today.
(C major) But legends say that glory
(D major) stepped in to defend (G major) the broken.
(C major) I've heard legends
(G major) where light defeats the night
and depression loses (C major) the fight.
I've heard (G major) legends of life
slaying the throes of death triumphantly,
(C major) (G major) while liberty rises to power
and takes captivity into slavery.
(C major) I've heard legends where (G major) love floods the forces
of evil with grace and virtue,
but you know these are legends.
(D major) I've yet to find if they are (C major) really true.
If (D major) miracles are real,
I'd like a way (G major) out of this landfill.
(C major) But (G major) there's no hope in sight that I
can see.
(C major) There's no answer
to the plight that I repeat.
(G major) The wind carries my cry
beyond the junkyard gates,
and I, without a reason why, stare at (D major) them.
(C major) Oh, every day I stare.
(G major) That's all I do is stare at the gates,
and they open (C major) sometimes,
(G major) and in comes the garbage truck
bearing more junk,
burying my (C major) luck of ever being
found.
May as well (G major) stop crying,
because no one can hear
(D major) my sound. (C major)
I'm buried so deep,
may as (D major) well be six feet underground.
(G major) By the same token,
I cannot help
that (D major) I've heard legends.
(C major) Legends of a hope an (G major) d a future.
Legends that somewhere
there exists the one that is my maker.
An (C major) d I've heard legends.
(D major) Oh, I've heard legends.
(G major) (C major) That he (G major) loves me. (C major)
