Intro - C#m | A | B | F#m x2
C#m A E
Darling My Dear I'll tell You what is wrong
B F#m
I went to the mountain,but the mountain top was gone
C#m A E
Remember those trees where as kids we dream
B F#m
Tore them down years ago and built a factory
C#m A E
When that plant closed the workers all left town
B F#m
I read in the paper that some kids were killed when it burnt down
C#m A E
Now I stare at that field like circle in the earth
B F#m
Nothing 'ill grow now that's not soil its just dirt
C#m A
And I can't stand it whats the use
F#m E
In making something new
B C#m A B
If all that made Us must be ruined
C#m A
I can't demand it. I got nothing
F#m E
But mounting debt and fear
B C#m A B
I scratch My head wondering how We got here
