["Nightbreed"]
[ G / C / G ] w/ Lead Riff G x4
[Verse]:
G This used to be a place where Cwe could walk the streets
UnGrestricted by imaginary Gfears
GThings didn't seem to be so compliCcated then
Til you Gpolluted everything that we had Ghere
GOur little secret was exposed for Call its worth
Stripped of Geverything that made it good and Gthen
GWe were forced out of the world Cthat we created
And Gexpected to move on and start Gagain
[Chorus]:
GWe live Ghere C toGday
GWe live Ghere alCways alGways
GWe live Ghere C toGday
GWe live Ghere alCways alGways
[ G / C / G ] w/ Lead Riff G 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]
GWe live here, we live here, Gwe live here, we live here
CWe live here, we live here G
GWe live here, we live here, Gwe live here, we live here
CWe live here, we live here G
