intro: Em G (x2)
[Em] There stood the fence that penned me [G]in when I was younger
[Em] This was the house where [G]we all stayed
[Em] There was a tree we used to [G]hang out under
[Em] This was the place [G]where I played
But n[A]ow that's gone so I [Em7]have to wonder
[A] Is it worth the price we [Em7]pay?
[A] A long range test has [Em7]put us under
A -stop- Em G Em G
And made us go away, go away...
[Em] This was the town where all my [G]friends and I had grown up
[Em] The only place I've [G]ever known
[Em] A long gray street with some [G]houses built on it
[Em] Less than perfect but [G]it was home
[A] Now it's gone and I [Em7]curse it in my darkness
[A] This is the cross I have to [Em7]bear
[A] We pay the price of our [Em7]own injustice
A -stop-
We made us go nowhere
Go nowhe[Em]re,[G] nowhe[Em]re
solo
repeat intro
[Em] This was our earth our [G]garden of eden
[Em] Took what we could and [G]left her there bleeding
[Em] And what became of the [G]hopes and the dreams
[Em] Did they die with us 'cause [G]that's how it seems
[A]Here comes the rain can't you [Em7]taste the acid?
[A] Or has it left you n[Em7]umb?
[A] This is the moral to the [Em7]story I offer
A -stop-
Can you hear me son...
Or have you gone [Em]away[G]
Aw[Em]ay[G]
Em G fades
Away
