Verse 1:
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Many long years amongst the trees
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Many long years in the ground
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
To be with one that's never seen
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
The one that stands and watches over
Chorus:
Em A
I wonder when we'll realize
Em A
This is what we got left
Em A
And it's our demise
Em A
With the water rising
Em A
And the air so thin
Em A
Still the children smiling
Em A
Can we see no sin?
Verse 2:
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
This is what we all have seen
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Too many years tearing down
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
Even though we couldn't believe
Am C D Dsus2 Dsus4 D
It's only clearer in a mirror now
Chorus:
Em A
I wonder when we'll realize
Em A
This is what we got left
Em A
And it's our demise
Em A
With the water rising
Em A
And the air so thin
Em A
Still the children smiling
Em A
Can we see no sin?
Em A
See no sin
Em A
Say no sin
Em A
Oh woah woah
Em A
Ah ah ah ah ah
Em A
Ah ah ah ah ah
Em A
Ah ah ah ah ah
Em A
Ah ah ah ah ah, no!
