[C]
On the day [Ab] the wall came [Gm] down, [Cm] they threw the locks [Ab] onto the ground
And with glasses high, we raised a cry [G] for freedom had arrived
[C] On the [Ab] day the wall came down, [Cm] the ship of fools [Ab] would finally run aground
Promises lit up the night [G] like painted doves in flight
[F] I dreamed you had left my side, no more signs where I'd [C] save you
[F] [C]
[F] Even [C] though you [F]
needed me, fear that I could not do, [C] seeing you
Now [G]
[Cm] life [Ab] devalues day by day, [Cm] there's friends and [Ab] neighbors turn away
And there's [D] a change that [Ab] even with regret, [G] cannot be undone
[Cm] Now frontiers drift [Ab] like desert sands, [C] while nations wash [Ab] their bloodied hands
Of loyalty and history in [G] shades of grey
I [F] won't lose the sound of drums, the music made the voices scream
[C]
I [F] [C]
[F] turned and I looked at you, longed but to be with you
[C] Slipped away, [G] slipped away
[F]

Slipped away, [C] slipped away
I turned and I looked at you, longed but to be with you

I [C]
turned and I [F]
looked at you, longed but to be with [G] you

I turned and I looked at you, [G] [C]
longed but to be with you
