Chords

Crash (1996) [Verse 1]
E
How can I turn away

E
Brother/Sister go dancing

E
Through my head

E
Human as to human

E
The future is no place

A         G#m F#m    E
To place your better days
[Chorus]
Bm           A
Cry freedom, cry

A                         C#m
From a crowd ten thousand wide

     Bm        A
Hope laid upon hope

A                        C#m      Bm
That this crowd will not subside

              A
Let this flag burn to dust

                 C#m               Bm
And a new a fair design be raised

                      A
While we wait head in hands,

A
Hands in prayer

A                                C#m
And fall into a dreamless sleep again

       E
And we wave our hands

A                      E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But gold between divide us

A                      E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us

A    G#m       F#m E
All slip away
[Verse 2]
Bm                 A
There was a window and by it stood

A
A mirror in which

             C#m      Bm
He could see himself

                  A
He thought of something

A
Something he had never had but

C#m                     Bm
Hoped would come along
[Chorus]
Bm           A
Cry freedom, cry

A
From deep inside

A                   C#m    Bm
Where we are all confined

              A             C#m
While we wave hands in fire

E
Wave our hands

A                      E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But gold between divide us

A                      E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us,

A    G#m    F#m E
Slip away
[Verse 3]
Bm                   A
In this room stood a little child

A
And in this room this little child

          C#m      Bm
She would remain

              A
Until someone might decide

A
To dance this little child

            C#m  Bm
Across this hall

Bm
Into a cold, dark, space

A
Where she might never trace her

                        C#m
Way across this crooked mile

                         Bm
Across this crooked page
[Chorus]
Bm           A
Cry freedom, cry

A
From deep inside where

              C#m
We are all confined

E
Till we wave our hands

A                     E
How can I turn away

                  Bm     E
Brother/Sister go dancing

           A
Through my head

            E
Human as to human

                 A
The future is no place

   E          F#m    E
To place your better days
[Outro]
A                      E
Hands and feet are all alike

         Bm             E
But gold between divide us

A                       E
Hands and feet are all alike

E
But fear between divide us

A              E
Hands and feet are all alike

            A
Hear what I say

A
Hear what I say

E                A     E A E
Oh, so be it

A                     E
How can I turn away

E                                    A
Brother/Sister go dancing through my head

            E
Human as to human

                 A
The future is no place

         E    F#m    E
To place your better days
