VERSE

C5                             
All the boys who called their mothers on that day 
We know, tough bunch, but they had the nerves, to go and say 

       G5                    F5   
That all your secrets were drowned
         G5                  F5
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town 
       G5                    F5
They packed their bags only moments to late 
         F5                                        G5
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates 

CHORUS
 
C5               F5       G5            C5 
    'Cause dire times, call for dire faces
             F5              D5 
So lovely dancer, call and answer 
         C5             F5 
Trading places in the night
              D5        F5
We're running barefoot, you and I 
F5
  Dead lovers salivate 
F5                          C5                        
  Broken hearts tessellate 

VERSE 2

C5
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old school yard fence 
Were holding out for prosperity in self defence 

PRE CHORUS 2
G5                 F5
We beat them down again
G5                      F5 
There?s no fun playing cowboys for pretend 
G5                       F5
We showed them what the backs of our hands are for 
    F5                                       G5
The divide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor 

CHORUS
C5               F5       G5            C5
    'Cause dire times, call for dire faces
             F5              D5 
So lovely dancer, call and answer 
         C5             F5 
Trading places in the night
              D5        F5
We're running barefoot, you and I 
F5
  Dead lovers salivate 
F5                      C5  
  Broken hearts tessellate
