[Verse 1]
[Am]In[F][Dm][Am][C][F][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][Dm][Am][F][Dm]
[E][F]
[Am]the [Dm]space[F] wh[E]ere[F] nothin[Am]gness seems to writhe[C]
[Am]Our voice unheard in this quiet [G]fight
[Am]This march we lead will breed [C]our song
To [G]them we're [F]nothing,
to them [Dm]we're pawns
Oh, [F]a d[E]esperate p[F]lay to
feel like we [Dm]belong
[F]Now [Am]as we take

[Verse 2]
up into these streets
[C]Remember, I d[Am]epend on you
as much as you on me
Don't try to fake it, let's not pretend
[C]We made you mot[F]hers,
we made [G]you [Dm]men
[F]We [E]made you [F]mothers, we made [G]you [Dm]men
[Am]Oh,

[Verse 3]
[F]it's [E]no sur[Am]prise
nobody listens anymore
[C]To what we're saying[F],
to what was [Am]said
And in your absence we promised you
[C]Oh, [F]we'll behave, oh, we'll be[Am]have
So just keep running
Everything [C]will look better
once [G]you look [F]away
Oh, I agree,
'cause what's the difference?
Oh, is there a [C]difference
[B]we [Am]make?
(Your day will [Em]come)
The rain starts [Am]dancing across

[Verse 4]
[Am]
our back[C]s
[Am]These ardent words seize
this [G]heart attack
[Am]Belief still strong,
we can make this change
The [G]stage is [F]set to oc[G]cupy the [Dm]brain
[F]The [E]stage [F]is, we [G]made this,
we [Dm]made this, [Am]we m[Dm]ade it
[F]It's no

[Verse 5]
[E]sur[Am]prise nobody listens anymore
[C]To what we're saying[F],
to what was [Am]said
And in your absence we promised you
[C]Oh, we'll beh[F]ave, oh, we'll be [Am]have
So just keep running
Everything [C]will look better
[Dm]once [G]you look awa[F]y
Oh, I agree,
'cause what's the difference?
Oh, is there a [C]difference
[B]we make?[Am]

[Verse 6]
Between the dapper villain in a [C]Sunday
seri[G]al [F]at the[G] podium[F]
[Am]Or another cog in the wheel,
[C]just another cog [F]in the wheel
They're both [G]cap[Am]able
of making [C]life hard
[F]And no [Am]bandage can end can
mend all these [C]parts[F][C]
[G]So [Am]why do [C]I gi[G]ve[F]?[C]
[F][C][G][Am]

[Verse 7]
Between, between, [G]between
Between, between, [F]between
Between the dream, the dream

[Verse 8]
[F]Oh, [G]it's no surpri[Am]se
nobody listens anymore
[C]To what we're saying[F],
to what was [Am]said
And in your [G]absence [Am]we promised you
[C]Oh, we'll beh[F]ave, oh, we'[Am]ll behave
So just keep running
Everything [C]will look better
[G]once you look [F]away
Oh, I agree,
'cause what's the difference?
Oh, what's the [C]dif[B]fer[Am]ence?

[Verse 9]
Of making [C]life hard
[F]No ban[Am]dage can mend all these part[C]s
[F]So [Am]why do I [Dm]live[C] wi[Dm]th th[G]is?[F]
[F]No difference

[Outro 1]
(Goodnight)
