Intro:
C#m   Asus2   B   C#m

Verse 1:
              C#m
We're in the church house kneeling down
             Asus2
We're in the subways underground
              B
We're in the bars and on the street
            C#m
We drive a truck we walk a beat
              C#m
We're in the mills and factories
             Asus2
We make the steel we cut the trees
            B
A thousand-yard stare, eyes of glass
             C#m
But we will see you when you pass

  C#m  Asus2  B  C#m

             C#m
We lost our homes, we lost our dreams
         Asus2
All our goals have turned into schemes
             B
We hurt each other and ourselves
          C#m
So after long, traumatic spells

Chorus:
           C#m
We are the walking
            A
We are the walking
            B               C#m
We are the walking wounded

Verse 2:
             C#m
We cried out from the deepest pit
              A
But rise back up each time we're hit
              B
We fell from power and from grace
           C#m
But resurrection's in our face
                 C#m
We're just like little girls and boys
     A
We play with grown up toys
           B
We never thought of sink or swim
            C#m
My brother hurts me so I hurt him

Chorus:
            C#m
We are the walking
            A
We are the walking
            B               C#m
We are the walking wounded

 C#m  A  B  C#m

Verse 3:
        C#m
Like a circle, round and round
      Asus2
We go up so we come down
            B
We don't explain or apologize
             C#m
We pull the veil across our eyes
   C#m
We see through your fake refrain
             Asus2
But we won't let you see our pain
             B
You may not know us but you'll see
           C#m
There are more than you'd believe

Chorus:
            C#m
We are the walking
            A
We are the walking
            B
We are the walking
            C#m
We are the walking

            C#m
We are the walking
             A
We are the walking
             B                C#m
We are the walking wounded
