Intro: Em Em7/D C C/B Am7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
Verse 1:
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C C/B
Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
where have all the singers gone? gone to churches one by one the streets have been
quiet for so long
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C C/B
Am7 Am7/G
where has all the music gone? the radio keeps everyone at home, slow dancing
through the telephone
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
and then we die and no one knows and theres just the sound of the radios
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
while the counterfeits who hate are dreams moan joyful tones through the tv screen
Am7 Am7/G D7/F# Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
but i can't believe what i have seen now everyone hums the same damn melody
Am7 C/B C Am7 C/B C
and the pushers know the junkies will come back
Am7 C/B C C/G D7/F#
if no one ever understands the trap.
Verse 2:
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
and for those young with out their mouths echoes break the windows in an empty
house and no one wants to hang around
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C
C/B Am7 Am7/G
not long ago i was just a babe when targets chased the armed parades they ran in
rhythym with the notes that played
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
and we'd sing along with the fallen rain but that ain't how it feels today
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
theres the butchers with those electric bones fired hearts like empty bombs
explode
Am7 Am7/G D7/F# Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
now everyone's back on their own dying fast i am not growing old
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
Am7 C/B C Am7 C/B C
yes the lonely know the only way is down
Am7 C/B C C/G D7/F#
and not everybody comes back around
Verse 3:
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
whose song has stopped for the voice of god? angels or fools call em what you want
we all make due with what we've got
Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C
C/B Am7 Am7/G
you are hard wired for eternity eyes roll back so the heart can sleep
conversations bite the ankles of infancy
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
you and i are a stupid symphony reborn and dying constantly
C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
like a jukebox wind on the ocean blows take this change and make the silence gold
Am7 Am7/G D7/F# Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
its deafening out here on my own i suppose thats just the way it goes
Am7 C/B C Am7 C/B C
but the solitude proves everybody wrong
Am7 C/B C C/G D7/F#
cuz everybody sings a lonesome song
Outro: Em Em6/D C C/B Am7 C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#
Am7 C/B C Am7 C/B C Am7 C/B C C/G D7/F# G Em9
