Verse:

Am          F              C
Wake up, oh wake up, don't sleep, please

  G          Am            F
I had another one of those dreams

           C                G
Where your feet are bound together

        A7        D          F
And the tin man is spinning again

        Am           F            C            Dm7
Hold my hand, I will stand as the world turns around me

         Am          F           D       D7
Lock the door to the yard or the wind is bound

                            F
To blow my fragile anchors away

Chorus:

C  Em                 Am
Who's gonna carry the blame?

            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign

                   F
When these injured streets are bleeding?

    C/G           C    G                 Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands

      F                 C      G
Gotta tend the marching bands

                          Am
When the battered streets are

Verse:

         Am        F
And I am losing my hold

    C               D
The soldiers in the hallway

          F                        G
They will break down these walls

            C
There's apparitions behind the bedroom blinds

        D
There is black ink in the bathroom sink

       F
If the gunmen don't let her go

       G                  F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house

Chorus:

    C  Em                 Am
And who's gonna carry the blame?

            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign

When the battered streets are

                          D

Verse:

      Am            F
And I know you will try

    C         D
But cannot protect me

           F               G
From these shadows inside

             C
'Cause these dreams I have are so much bigger

         D
Than the blade of a knife or a shotgun's trigger

       F
If the gunmen don't let her go

       G                  F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house

Chorus:

    C  Em                 Am
