I reference both the studio album as well as live recordings to ensure the proper "tonality".

Intro:

Verse:
   E                 D                 A                 C
     And through the fence I see a ghost,           of a place that used to breathe.

   E                 D                 A                 C
      You know it choked away the sun.            But we still had food to eat.

   E                 D                 C#                 C
And now everyone is gone. To a place that won't be home.
                              Can they keep their family strong? Will they make it on their own?

                              Now it's all built on our backs. And we struggle to survive.
