  			Em                     G            C                 G               Am        C 
Broke and dazed down a burning road Stopped to have a smoke while the world was ending 

Through a blizzard of ash and snow Praying with a friend but there's no pretending 

Bm                D                 Am       Bm    Em 
Twisting time and fate had found us All alone All alone 

C                  G      D 
Carry us back to a better way 
Carry us back with the setting sun 
Carry us back on a wave of love and grace  

C                  G             D   Bm          Em 
Carry us back as the day is done      The day is done 


Em                     G            C                 G               Am        C 
Demons danced down a burning road Someone made a deal with the devil's daughter 
Turned a bright diamond back to coal Gold to lead, fine wine to water 

C                  G      D 
Carry us back to a better way 
Carry us back with the setting sun 
Carry us back on a wave of love and grace  

C                  G             D   Bm          Em 
Carry us back as the day is done      The day is done  


Bm                D                 Am       Bm    Em 
Street life left her dark and cold Down to the bone To the bone 

Dm                            Gm 
Cross the freezing river run 'Neath the bridge they’re watching 

Bb                           Am                   D 
Quiet they can hear us talk  Charming wolves with starving hearts 

Em                                      Am 
Stand your ground they’re growing near  This will not end well I fear 

C                               Bm 
Dim the lights Start the show   This is all we know
