Living   by the   printed page

The landmarks of the age

Bsus7        B7         Esus                    E
I                find... a coat that's poorly lined

DM7 (x54222)       Bm7 (x24232)                            A6 ( x02222)
           Handed       down                      from time to time

F#m (x44200)              E
           Waiting for the sun to shine

Standing here amidst this crowd
And wondering aloud
I find... a joke that's poorly timed
Thinking back to simpler days
Of waiting for a light to change


Chorus:

D                    G      A     E
    No one can take this away from me

       Bm7                              F#m
The martyrs and madmen I learned of in school

           D                 E
Will remember my name

D                       G     A          E
Some things are ne - ver the way they seem

Bm7                        A6
Bury our centuries' wasted regrets

           D                  E
And remember this reign

Walking from the weary gloom
The din of empty rooms
I find... a poem that's poorly rhymed
And waiting for the walls to fall
I'm stunned by the failure of it all

Chorus:
No one can take this away from me
Spellbound in anger my heroes have failed
To remember my name
Some things are never the way they seem
Buy up our centuries' bleeding remains
And remember this reign


D                    E/D (xx0454)      D
It's only water fal - ling             down

Bflat/// C 

D                     E/D    D
It's only water in my tears

Bflat/ Fbass        C/Gbass

D                      E/D        D
It's only water drowning me

Bflat/// C 



D/A /x04232)       E/A       D/A
It's only water for all these years
 
C? (x35533)  D? (x57755)  E (079900) 


And waiting for the walls to fall
I'm stunned by the failure of it all
