G Bm C
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine
G D
All we could do
Em
No shakes or coughs or burst relief
Bm
Or lists of all our things
C G D
Just minutes making minds
G Bm C
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine
G D
All we could do
Em
But the makers never made
Bm
The comers never came
D
But I still felt that awful news
Em
It was patience that we had
Bm
And the miles we had left
D
That held us there until we could let go
G Bm C
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine
G D
And it'll be over soon
Em
No moon children or people's sun
Bm
Or ringing in my ears
D
When I still felt that awful news
Em
It was patience that we had
Bm
And the miles we had left
D
That held us there until we could let go
Em
It was patience that we had
Bm
And the miles we had left
D
That held us there until we could let go
G Bm C
I was born in nineteen eighty-nine
G D
All we could do
Em Bm
Not in birth or body
C G D
But only in our minds
Em Bm
Not in birth or body
D
I still felt that awful news
Em
It was patience that we had
Bm
And the miles we had left
D
That held us there until we could let go
Em
It was patience that we had
Bm
And the miles we had left
D
That held us there until we could let go
