[D] [G] [Em] [Bm]
[C] [Em] [C]
[Cm]
[D] [G] Mother [Em] doesn't know where [Bm] love has gone
She [C] [Em] says it must be [F] youth that keeps us [C] feeling strong
[G] [Em] Seeing a face [Bm] that's turned to ice
[C] And [Em] when she smiles she [C] shows the lines [D] of sacrifice
[Am] And now [C] I know [G] what they're saying
As our sun [Em] begins to fade
And [C] we made our love on wasted [D] land
To [G] the bad kids
Father [Em] made my [Bm] history
[D] And [C]
[Em] fought for what he [F] thought would set us somehow [C] [G] free
He taught [Em] me what to [Bm] say in school
[C] [Em] Learning off my [C] heart but now [D] that's time too
And [Am] now [C] I know [D] what they're saying
[G] In the [D] music [Em] of the parade
And [C] we made [Am] our love on [G] wasted land
[D] To the [F] bad [C] kids
[G]
[Em] Born on different [Bm] sides of life
And [C]
[Em] we feel the [F] same and feel all of the strife
[G] So [Em] come to me [Bm] when I'm asleep
And [C] [Em] we'll cross the [C] lines and dance [D] upon the streets
And [C] now I know what [D] they're saying
[G] As the [D] drums begin [Em] to fade
[C] And we made [Am] our love on wasted land
[D] To the [G]
bad kids
[C#] [F]
[C] Oh, turn [G] around and I'll be there
Oh, [F] the sky through [C] my heart will I [G] bear it again
[F] Oh, I'll fly me [C] where the human race
[G] We were just another [Em] part of this
And [C] the stars reach down to tell us
[D] That there's always one escape
[G] Oh, [F#m] [Em] I was lost [G] [C] [Em] within this troubled land
[C]
Desperation [D] keeps us strong
[G] And [D] fight as proud [Em] as the soul
With [C] [Em] nothing left to lose
[C] There's everything [D] to go
[C] And now I know [D] what they're saying
[G] It's a terrible [Em] beauty we've made
[C] So we made our [Am] love on wasted land
[D] To [G] the bad kids
And [C] now I know [D] what they're saying
[Em] As our hearts go [C] to their graves
We made our [Am] love on [C] wasted land
[D] To the [F] bad kids
