The places where we met to share

Our secrets now and then ^C#m ^D We will s^Aee them again

^EChange will come Stay ^Dwarm inside the ripple ^DOf the panasonic hum

It grinds

And it r^F#moars ^DHeaded somewhere better

If I have to crawl there on all fours [Chorus]

Say ^Eyour prayers to whomever You call ^Dout to in the night Keep the ^F#mchains tight ^EMake it through this year If it ^Dkills us outright
