Through these (D#m)fields of de (E)struc tion

bap ti sm’s of fi (B)re

I’ve (D#m)watched all your suf fer ing

as the bat tles raged (E)higher

and (F#)though they did hurt (G#m)me so bad

in the fear and a (E)larm

you (F#)did not de (G#m)sert me my (E)bro thers in arms

There’s so (F#)ma ny diffe rent (G#m)worlds.

and (F#)we have just one (G#m)world

But we (B)live in diffe rent (E)ones
