A           E              Bm      F#m       D
  I found a picture of you,       ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
A          E                      Bm        F#m    D

A                   E                    Bm       F#m    D
To a place in the past we've been cast out of, ohh oh oh
A    E                       Bm       F#m    D
Oh,    now we're back in the fight

[Verse 2]

A           E              Bm      F#m       D
Circumstance beyond our control, ohh oh oh ohh ohhh
A          E                     Bm        F#m    D
Oh, the phone, the TV, and the news of the world
A                   E                 Bm         F#m     D
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, ohh oh oh ohh ohh
A    E                       Bm       F#m    D
Threw sand in our eyes, and descended like flies


[Chorus]

Bm                    E           Bm     E
   Put us back on the train, yeah
Bm    E     Bm     E

[Bridge]

Am    E             Am      E                          Am
  The powers that be   that force us to live like we do
Am    E                                  Am                 E
  Bring me to my knees when I see what they've done to you
Am           E                               Am                  E
And I'll die as I stand here today, knowing that deep in my heart
Am    E                     Am          E               E
      They'll fall to ruin one day, for making us part
