[Verse 1]
G Em Bm
Mother doesn't know where love has gone
C Em F C
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
G Em Bm
I see it in her face that's turned to ice
C Em F D
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
[Chorus]
C D G Em
and now I know what they're saying as our sun begins to fade
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste ...land and through the barricades
[Verse 2]
G Em Bm
Father made my history
C Em F C
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
G Em Bm
He taught me what to say in school
C Em F D
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
[Chorus]
C D G Em
and now I know what they're saying in the music of the parade
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste ...land and through the barricades
[Verse 3]
G Em Bm
Born on different sides of life
C Em F C
We feel the same and feel all of this strife
G Em Bm
So come to me when I'm asleep
C Em C D
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
[Chorus]
C D G Em
and now I know what they're saying as the drums begin to fade
C Am C D G
And we made our love on waste ...land and through the barricades
[Bridge]
F C G
Oh, turn around and I'll be there
F C G
There's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
F C
Oh I thought we were the human race
G Em
but we were just another borderline case
C Am D
and the stars reach down and tell us there's always one escape
G D Em
Ohhh, I don't know where love has gone
C Em C D
and in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
G Em Bm
Friday's child is full of soul
C Em C D
With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
[Chorus]
C D G Em
and now I know what they're saying, it's a terrible beauty we've made
C Am C D G
so we make our love on waste ... land and through the barricades
C D Em Em
and now I know what they're saying, as our hearts go to their graves
C Am C D G
We made our love on waste ... land oh and through ... the barricades
