Intro:
C# minorC#m Asus2Asus2 BB C# minorC#m
Verse 1:
C# minorC#m
We're in the church house kneeling down
Asus2Asus2
We're in the subways underground
BB
We're in the bars and on the street
C# minorC#m
We drive a truck we walk a beat
C# minorC#m
We're in the mills and factories
Asus2Asus2
We make the steel we cut the trees
BB
A augmentedA thousand-yard stare, eyes of glass
C# minorC#m
But we will see you when you pass
C# minorC#m Asus2Asus2 BB C# minorC#m
C# minorC#m
We lost our homes, we lost our dreams
Asus2Asus2
All our goals have turned into schemes
BB
We hurt each other and ourselves
C# minorC#m
So after long, traumatic spells
Chorus:
C# minorC#m
We are the walking
A augmentedA
We are the walking
BB C# minorC#m
We are the walking wounded
Verse 2:
C# minorC#m
We cried out from the deepest pit
A augmentedA
But rise back up each time we're hit
BB
We fell from power and from grace
C# minorC#m
But resurrection's in our face
C# minorC#m
We're just like little girls and boys
A augmentedA
We play with grown up toys
BB
We never thought of sink or swim
C# minorC#m
My brother hurts me so I hurt him
Chorus:
C# minorC#m
We are the walking
A augmentedA
We are the walking
BB C# minorC#m
We are the walking wounded
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
Verse 3:
C# minorC#m
Like a circle, round and round
Asus2Asus2
We go up so we come down
BB
We don't explain or apologize
C# minorC#m
We pull the veil across our eyes
C# minorC#m
We see through your fake refrain
Asus2Asus2
But we won't let you see our pain
BB
You may not know us but you'll see
C# minorC#m
There are more than you'd believe
Chorus:
C# minorC#m
We are the walking
A augmentedA
We are the walking
BB
We are the walking
C# minorC#m
We are the walking
C# minorC#m
We are the walking
A augmentedA
We are the walking
BB C# minorC#m
We are the walking wounded
