Listen to the song for rhythms
Great song off "Grace Under Pressure"
Standard tuning
Dm
All that we can do is just survive
G
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Dm
All that we can do is just survive
G
All that we can do to help ourselves is stay alive
Am
Ragged lines of ragged gray
G
Skeletons, they shuffle away
G
Shouting guards and smoking guns
Will cut down the unlucky ones
Am
Am Em
I clutch the wire fence until my fingers bleed
F
A wound that will not heal
F
A heart that cannot feel
Am Em
Hoping that the horror will recede
F
Hoping that tomorrow we'll all be freed
Am
Sickness to insanity
G
Prayer to profanity
G
Days and weeks and months go by
Don't feel the hunger
Am
Too weak to cry
Am Em
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
F
Are the liberators here?
F
Do I hope or do I fear?
Am Em
For my father and my brother, it's too late
F
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Dm
Are we the last ones left alive?
G
Are we the only human beings to survive?
Dm
Are we the last ones left alive?
G
Are we the only human beings to survive?
Am Em
I hear the sound of gunfire at the prison gate
F
Are the liberators here?
F
Do I hope or do I fear?
Am Em
For my father and my brother, it's too late
F
But I must help my mother stand up straight
Dm
Are we the last ones left alive?
G
Are we the only human beings to survive?

Are we the last ones left alive?
