[Verse 1]
E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can make a fire out of anything
E5 Em/C Em/C * E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can warm your hands on the plastic burning on the frozen ground
Bsus2 Esus2
When the only word is ‘when’
E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can make a camp out of anywhere
E5 Em/C Em/C * E5 Em/C Em/C *
Polythene sheets and rope until they come to pull it down
Bsus2 Esus2
You just start again
[Chorus]
C/G
Winter storms and the snow flying
Am
Razor wire and the gulls crying

Cross the water or die trying

[Verse 2]
E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can make a little hope out of anything
Em/C * Bsus4 E5 Em/C Em/C *
Follow the latest rumour to an empty concrete yard
Bsus4 Esus4
On the edge of town
E5 Em/C Em/C *
Where there’s always someone to take your money
Em/C * Bsus4 E5 Em/C Em/C *
There’s always someone to make a promise and then go to ground
Bsus4 Esus4
Another face to forget
[Chorus]
C/G
Winter storms and the snow flying

Razor wire and the gulls crying
G Bm Em B5
Cross the water or die trying

G Bm Em B5
Cross the water or die trying
[Bridge]
Am
You can lie awake through the long dark night
C/G
And count the trucks as they go passing by
Am C/G
The ships loading up and sailing out for the promise land
Am
You can listen to the wind as it whips up the sand from the dunes
Cm7/G C/G
And dream and dream that it blows and blows and blows
Cm7/G
All the fences in the world down to the ground

E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can end the journey anywhere
Em/C * Bsus4 E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can lose your hold on the axle frame and fall into the road
Bsus4 Esus4
And under the wheels
E5 Em/C Em/C *
You can fall right through the world and disappear
Em/C * Bsus4 E5 Em/C Em/C *
Playing a game of hide-and-seek just one too many times
Bsus4 Esus4
Until the time that you’re not found
