Key: A
Introduction: D A G A D
D G A
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down,
D G A D
Sinking behind bridges in the road
G A
And I think of all the good things
D A G
That we have left undone
D/F# Em
And I suffer premonitions,
Bm
Confirm suspicions,
Em A D A G A
Of the holocaust to come.
D
The rusty wire that holds the cork
G A
That keeps the anger in,
D
Gives way
G A D
And suddenly it's day again.
G A
The sun is in the east
D A G D/F#
Even though the day is done.
Em
Two suns in the sunset
Bm
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Em A
Could be the human race is run.
Bm A
Like the moment when the brakes lock
Bm
And you slide towards the big truck
G A D
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear.
Bm A
And you'll never hear their voices,
Bm
And you'll never see their faces,
G A D A
You have no recourse to the law anymore.
D
And as the windshield melts
G A
My tears evaporate,
D G A D
Leaving only charcoal to defend.
G A D A G D/F#
Finally I understand the feelings of the few.
Em
Ashes and diamonds,
Bm
Foe and friend,
Em A
We were all equal in the end.
