  			Intro: Gm 

                  F        C 
To the end of the earth, I search for your face 
                     F          Gm 
For the one who laid all of our beauty to waste 
                    F            C 
Threw our hope into hell and our children to the fire 
         F       Gm 
I am the one who crawled through the wire 
C        F       Gm 
I am the one who crawled through the wire 


                      F              C 
There's a million sad stories on the side of the road 
               F            Gm 
Strange how we all just got used to the blood 
            F               C 
Millions of stories that'll never be told 
           F            Gm 
Silent and froze in the mud 
C          F            Gm 
Silent and froze in the mud 


C        F       Gm 
I know a cold as cold as it gets 
F        C               Gm 
I know a darkness that's darker than coal 
            F        C 
A wind that blows as cold as it gets 
             F           Gm 
Blew out the light in my soul 
C            F           Gm 
Blew out the light in my soul 


              F        C 
I dream in my sleep, I dream in my days 
              F          Gm 
Of some sunny street not so far away 
              F        C 
Where up in a window a curtain will sway 
                 F           Gm 
And you and I'll meet down below 
C            F           Gm 
You and I'll meet down below 


C        F       Gm 
I know a cold as cold as it gets 
F            C         Gm 
I'll fight a war I may never see won 
               F       C 
I live only to see you live to regret 
     F                 Gm 
Everything that you've done 
C    F                 Gm 
Everything that you've done 
C    F                 Gm 
Everything that you've done
