Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Cities are stones
People aren't important
[Am][Em]
People breed and die
They come and [Dm]they go
[Am]Faithless

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[Dm]But [Em]stones are true
They don't die
They [G]don't [Dm]go[Am]
anywhere
[G][Am][F][Em]

[Verse 3]
Stones talk like our fathers talk
Languages of hope & fear
that we don't [D]understand[Em]
[Dm]Like poetry

[Verse 4]
[G]Nobody understands
[Am]Nobody under[Dm]stands
[Am]All the words that we've
cherished for so [G]long
fall on [Am]deaf [F]ears
Children, [G]hear our hopes [Am]and fears
[Em]Hope and fear

[Verse 5]
In awful [Em]solitude they and we
speak past each [Dm]other[Em]
whispering in the dark
[Dm]stra[Em]nge talk

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em][A][Am][Em][Dm][Em][Am][Em]
[F#sus4][Em][G]
[Em][D][Em][Am][Em][Dm]

[Verse 6]
Nobody [Am]understands
Nobody [Dm]understands
All the [Am]words that we've
cherished for so [G]long
fall [Em]on de[Am]af ears
Children, [G]hear our hopes [Em]and f[Am]ears
Hope and fear
[Em]

[Verse 7]
The sun sets and people
flee
and in the surrounding hills
they huddle against the empty
darkness
[G]around suburban camp[Em]fires
Above in [Dm]the sky [Em]the stars
[G]come undone[Em]
Below in the city there's nothing but
strange talk
It feels like all the faded [G]hopes [Em]that never were
