Capo on 2


(NC ) All the boys who called their mothers on that day D G Em D
(NC ) Were no tough bunch, but they had the nerves, to go and say D G Em A

A                       G
That all your secrets were drowned
A                       G
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town
A                       G
They packed their bags only moments too late
G                                                      D
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates

D          G     A             D
     Dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
             Em      G
Were running barefoot you and I
G                   G                  D
Dead lovers salivate broken hearts tessellate tonight

(NC) And all the kids who cut their knees on that old school yard fence D G Em D
(NC) Were holding out for prosperity in self defense D G Em A

     A            G
We beat them down again
     A             G
Its no fun playing cowboy for pretend
     A                   G
We'll show them what the backs of our hands are for
                                           A
The divide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor

D          G     A             D
     Dire times call for dire faces
          G               Em
So lovely dancer call and answer
          D             G
Trade our places in the night
             Em      G
Were running barefoot you and I
G                   G
Dead lovers salivate broken hearts tessellate tonight
