[Verse]
G                Em                   Bm7  C             Em
  Mother doesn't know where love has gone,   she says it must be
           F               C       G                 Em
youth that keeps us feeling strong.  I see it in her face
           Bm7       C              Em                   F
that's turned to ice,  and when she smiles she shows the lines
        D
of sacrifice.


[Chorus]
          C                D            G             Em
And now I know what they sayin' as the sun begins to fade.
        C                Am    C         D               G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricades.


[Verse]
G       Em          Bm7 C             Em                    F
Father made my history, he fought for what he thought would set
            C    G            Em             Bm7    C
us somehow free. He taught me what to say in school, I learned
   Em               F                  D
it off by heart but now that's torn in two.


[Chorus]
          C               D            G               Em
And now I know what they sayin' in the music of the parade.
       C                Am     C         D              G
And we made our love on waste land and through the barricade.


[Verse]
G        Em                 Bm7 C   Em                F
Born on different sides of life, we fear the same and feel
             C      G          Em           Bm7  C       Em
all of this strife. So come to me when I'm asleep, we'll cross
             F               D
the lines and dance upon the streets.


[Chorus]
          C                D            G              Em
And now I know what they sayin' as the drums begins to fade.
       C                 Am    C       D                 G
And we made our love on waste-land and through the barricades.


[Bridge]
F   C                    G                       F
Oh, turn around and I'll be there. Oh, there's a scar right
           C                       G           F
through my heart but I'll bear it again. Oh, I thought we were
          C                 G                      Em
the human race but we were just another borderline case. And
     C                                                    D
the stars reached out and tell us there's always one escape.


[Verse]
G           D/F#                 Em C            Em
Oh, I don't know when love was gone. But in this troubled land
     C                D     G          D/F#           Em
desperation keeps us strong. Friday's child so full of soul
C             Em                   C             D
 with nothing left to lose there's everything to go.


[Chorus]
           C               D           G                     Em
And now I know what they sayin' it's a terrible beauty we've made.
       C               Am    C         D                 G
We made our love on waste-land and through the barricades.

           C               D           Em         D         C
And now I know what they sayin' as our hearts go to their graves.
         C              Am    C           D
And we made our love on waste land oh and through the barricades.
