["Nightbreed"]
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x4
[Verse]:
B This used to be a place where Gwe could walk the streets
UnArestricted by imaginary Efears
BThings didn't seem to be so compliGcated then
Til you Apolluted everything that we had Ehere
BOur little secret was exposed for Gall its worth
Stripped of Aeverything that made it good and Ethen
BWe were forced out of the world Gthat we created
And Aexpected to move on and start Eagain
[Chorus]:
BWe live Dhere G toEday
BWe live Dhere alGways alEways
BWe live Dhere G toEday
BWe live Dhere alGways alEways
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x2
[Repeat Verse]:
The money moved right in and sucked the life right out
So the privileged could sit back and enjoy
The things that made this place what it was before you came here
Were the first things you decided to destroy
We walk your streets late at night while you're asleep
Creeping from the sewers oozing from the cracks
We are the blood that pumps the heart you call your home
And any day we're gonna come to take it back
[Repeat Chorus]
BWe live here, we live here, Dwe live here, we live here
GWe live here, we live here E
BWe live here, we live here, Dwe live here, we live here
GWe live here, we live here E
