		AM
Look at him now

F		GCG
Another used man

C	          F
Wearing the passing of his dignity

 		 	    G	F
With all the courage that he can

 	        AM
He stood in the storm

F		  C      CG
Carved out in stone

C		      F
He said I've worn my honesty with pride

  		   G F
In everything I've done

C                         F         C
So where were you when my ship went down

AM                     F        C
Where were you when I ran aground

C                     F             C
Where were you when I turned it around

AM                       F         C       F
Where were you when they burned me down

	    AM
Look at her now

     F         C      CG
All tired and worn

C               F
She never thought her life

 				G
Would come to be so cold or so alone

AM
She walked in the light

       F            C    CG
Fought bondage for love

C                        F
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with

  		G
But it never was enough
CHORUS
F                               C
Silent souls washed upon the shores

            F         
Left to walk the sands

F		G
Evermore, evermore

AM                       F        C      CG
Look at us now, just chasing our lives

C              F
Make like the saviors of the planet

   			G
We're just trying to get by

AM
You may walk the line

	F	     C	  CG
You may see it all through

              C             F
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night

 			G
Just wondering what to do
