[ B5 / G5 / E5 ] w/ Lead Riff A5 x4

[Verse]:
B5                               G5
  This used to be a place where we could walk the streets
  A5                       E5
Unrestricted by imaginary fears
B5                                 G5
Things didn't seem to be so complicated then
        A5                               E5
Til you polluted everything that we had here
B5                                 G5
Our little secret was exposed for all its worth
            A5                                E5
Stripped of everything that made it good and then
B5                               G5
We were forced out of the world that we created
    A5                             E5
And expected to move on and start again

[Chorus]:
B5       D5      G5     E5
We live here       today
B5       D5      G5      E5
We live here always always
B5       D5      G5     E5
We live here       today
B5       D5      G5      E5
We live here always always

[ B5 / G5 / E5 ] w/ Lead Riff A5 x2

[Repeat Verse]:
The money moved right in and sucked the life right out
So the privileged could sit back and enjoy
The things that made this place what it was before you came here
Were the first things you decided to destroy
We walk your streets late at night while you're asleep
Creeping from the sewers oozing from the cracks
We are the blood that pumps the heart you call your home
And any day we're gonna come to take it back

[Repeat Chorus]

B5                           D5
We live here, we live here, we live here, we live here
G5                           E5
We live here, we live here
B5                           D5
We live here, we live here, we live here, we live here
G5                           E5
We live here, we live here

[Repeat Chorus, End on B]
