a dusty place to kiss the ground an 
C
empty place to cry out loud...

and while the rest of us were sleeping 
.........G..............F
she sent flowers gently creeping and the 
G.............F.......G
waters slowly seeping through 

Let her burn you! 
Let her bleach you! 
Let her lead you so very far away no-one can reach you! 
spread out wild and wander 
and may everything you poison come back stronger... 

And while the rest of us were sleeping 
she sent flowers gently creeping and the waters slowly seeping through 

Am.................................C.................F.C
the cracks in the pavement and the cracks in the dam 
.......G
so now everything we steal away we know someday she'll take it back again

So now everything we steal away 
we know someday she'll take it back again
