A5              G5
Shoot me down, lay me to rest
F5                   G5            A5
Time don?t wait for no man she said
A5                    G5              
Pick you religion and hope for the best
F5                 G5           A5
Battle lines are drawn in the end

 
         A5   G5
So I go down, oh,
F5                   G5         A5
This time it gets harder to breath
               G5
So I go down, oh,
F5                   G5           A5
This poor world has started to bleed

 
            C5   G5
But I will wait on,
        A5   G5    F5
Till I hear your call
             C5    G5
And I will break out
        A5  G5   F5    A5
When I fear no more

 
 A5                         G5 
Don?t feel uneasy look him dead in the eye
         F5                G5            A5
You?ve listened now it?s your time to show
 A5                           G5                
Blow your mind open, with the thought of a lie
      F5               G5           A5
Rest easy now there?s no where to go

 
         A5   G5
So I go down, oh,
F5                 G5          A5
This time it gets harder to breath
         A5   G5
So I go down, oh,
 F5                  G5           A5
This poor world has started to bleed

 

Chorus (x2)

D5 , F5 , G5 

          D5    
Don?t you hang your hat on a one way street
 F5                       G5          
Foolin yourself with impossible dreams
           D5                
Don?t you fly your flag as the sky still burns
 F5                        G5         
Stand your ground when the cold war comes

 
         D5
So she shut her eyes as the world closed in
F5                      G5
Held her breath as the time began
         D5            
As her heart beat still and her lips run dry
    F5                     G5
This time you fight or this time you die

 
       D5              
Oh for 8 long years she as held this fire
F5                            G5 
Father time has come and her limps are tired
        D5                       
But for one last time she she?s the flashes of light
     F5                        G5
Its hard to believe this life is ending tonight

 
A5 , G5 , F5 , G5 , A5
