F#m                       A 
Down on the corner of the dead end street 
Bm                       F#m 
Too many tears and not a drop of relief 
F#m                            A         
It'll shake up your soul it'll tear down your pride

Hatred is a criminal out on the loose 
Bm                           F#m 
Love might be a judge with a hangman's noose

It'll make you strong it'll make you bitter

Gone out walking through the city tonight 
Bm                              F#m 
Sittin through the wreckage underneath the lights 
F#m                    A 
All you can do is pray with all your might 
Bm                           F#m 
There's a few thousand souls no where in sight 
F#m                             A 
It's hard to swing at something you can't see

Can't live by fear can't live by deception

Hey I'm a man of peace with a few exceptions

And the walls are breaking down till nothing's left 
     A                    E 
Baby you're gonna need to hold onto something that is 
D             F#m 
Stronger than yourself 
F#m                 A 
Baby your eyes were wet with tears 
Bm            F#m 
Your skin was drenched in sorrow 
F#m                  A 
But you kiss was an open door

So I walked thru to a new tomorrow 
F#m                   A
