Verse 1:

Am
In our youthful condemnation the truth speaks for itself

Dm                           Am
That in an hour of darkness, Someone cried for help

So he told a simple story of innocents and lies,

Dm                               Am
How the truth became so twisted, in a single judges eyes.

Chorus:

Dm                    Em                          Dm
Our brave new rainbow nation, was floating on the tide

                 Em                              Dm
in a sea of expectation, and a hard won sense of pride

                     Em                           Dm
but the wave of solidarity, that swept across our land

                             Em
was broken on the rocks left lifeless on the sand

Verse 2: It all seemed very simple, let the guilty take the blame, we can sing our song of and put them all to shame. Shine a light into the darkness, let them hear his name, but the we tried to change things, the more they stayed the same. Chorus Verse 3: And no one else but Tyler knows exactly what this means, He's a man thats dissapearing, ceasing to exist, and the only contribution that he has left to give, is the simple story of a life he's never lived Chorus (This is my first tab! how is it?)
