[Intro 1]
[Am][F][G][Am]
[F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]These are not
dispassionate [F]words of the cool
[Dm]The head[Am]line still rules
the [F]editor's a fool
Shall [Am]we douse out the flames
or will [F]everybody fuse
And [Am]leave us stranded here to[F]morrow
[Am]I heard a calling out,
a [F]cry from the heart
From the [Am]towns of cement and the [F]beauty
A [A]whisper its turned howl,
[Am]man [F]he didn't know
He was [A]standing waiting [Am]for
to[F]morrow[C]

[Verse 2]
Nothing's [G]left, nothing's [G#dim]found,
[Am]ther[F]e[C]
[G]mus[G#dim]t be some[Am] com[F]mon ground[C][Am]

[Verse 3]
I could never [C]figure the [F]calendars flow
[Am]Nor can I work out how the w[F]ild,
wild wind blows
But we're [Am]ready from within
and we're [F]starting to go
[Am]Away from the place of no
to[C]morrow[F][C]

[Verse 4]
Nothing's [G]left, nothing's [G#dim]found,
[Am]ther[F]e must be some common grou[C]nd
Nothing's left,
[G](??[G#dim]?) I see [Am]ther[F]e must be some common ground

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Oh the wrecking fields
are [F]a terrible place
With a [Dm]sul phurous smell
and a frightening pace
And the [F]Hook goes early
and the critic is king
It's [Dm]hard to stay human and [F]stand in

[Interlude 1]
the ring
[Am][C][F][Am][F]
[Am]

[Verse 6]
There's no time to be [C]absent,
a clown [F]or a fool
[Am]While Shylock is smiling
[F]we're loaded like mules
If we sur[A]render ourself
to in[F]dustrial rules
We'll [Am]wake up in the
wreckage of tomorrow
[F]Now[C]

[Verse 7]
Nothing's [G]left, nothing's [G#dim]found,
[Am]ther[F]e must be some common grou[C]nd
Nothing's [G]left, something's [G#dim]found,
[Am]can [F]we see some common g[C]round
