G#
Fists in the air, candles and vigils,
G#
Cracked dreams held together with curses and wishes, but
C# F# C#
How longs it been since you’ve been outside
C# A#m G#
How longs it been since you’ve opened your eyes
G# C# F#
I’ve been to the line and it’s all right there,
F# G# C#

How longs it been since you’ve been outside
C# A#m G#
How longs it been since you’ve opened your eyes
G# C# F#
I’ve been to the line and it’s all right there,
F# G# C#
and I cannot wait to get on from here.

We’ve got to tell the spirit mystics of tomorrow that
A#m C# A#m
in some ways it’s the same, but tonight the crowd they came
