Am C5 C G Am Gm Dm Am  Dm  Am
                     Yea-yea-yeai-yeo Yea-yea--yeo
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am [Verse 1]
Dm
We lay the night in anguish

Dm
Snakes drawn out by the tide

Dm
The compass of decision

Dm
Falls always on one side

F
But many went before us

                        C
And still the cries are clear

Dm
There is no beauty here

Dm
Just the stench of wine and beer
[Chorus 1]
F            C
We save no souls

             F      G
We break no promises

Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am [Verse 2]
Dm
We can do nothing more than move

Dm
Headlong through the gloom

Dm
The thorn between our lips

Dm
Is the missionaries tune

Dm
Men with open arms

           Am
Turn their faces half away

Dm
Observe as we approach

Dm
We have not come to save

F
We stand as thick as vines

                         C
Though the fruit is torn away

Dm
There is no beauty here friends

Dm
Just death and dark decay
[Chorus 2]
F            C
We save no souls

             F      G C Dm F
We break no promises

F            C
We save no souls

             F      G
We break no promises
[Outro] C Dm F
