Verse 1:
C G
There's a field near by
G
with words written in stone
C
My love will not die
G
please let it be known
C G
This place is dead
it echoes through town
C
There isn't one voice
G
I haven't heard a sound
C
The planes flew in
Dm
their bombs did too
C
The city fell flat
F
the fires they grew
C
When the smoke comes in
Dm
it'll color this town
C
But I'll still have you
F
so i'll say it aloud
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 2:
C
The friendships we made
G
is a waste of our time
C
There's no one left here
G
to show a future that's kind
C
Its a world of hate
G
gone incredibly wrong
C
We cared too late
G
we just followed along
C
And the boys went down
Dm
with a gun in their hand
C
Their weapon of choice
F
their knees in the sand
C Dm
If that field nearby was
still there to be used
C
Would you ever have known
F
those words are for you
(Repeat Chorus)
