[Verse 1]
                                                   C     D
Come, lock the door up tight, the night's for sleeping 
                                  G
Hiding in the dark, no light must show
                                      C        D
And did you paste up pictures of your heroes?
                                      G
To ask of them the answers they don't know 


[Verse 2]
Em                                 C         D
Cowboy kings who wore the white of freedom 
                   A7                D        Em
Where were they to save you from the flame? 
                                       C
The yellow star would never shine like silver 
        D                  A7                 D
And the Sheriff would soon learn to live with shame

[Verse 3]
                                      C         D
There was no help for children in the shadows 
                                    G
Who never knew the meaning of their pain 
                                   C 
The reasons give no answers to the questions 
    D                                 G
And now the circle brings them round again 


[Verse 4]
  Em                                  C          D
I pause inside your room and wait for whispers 
             A7                    D
An echo of a voice that calls your name 
   Em                                     C
To tell you that the world still welcomes lovers 
        D                 A7                 D
But the headlines for the news are still the same 



                  Em              D
They're still the same, still the same 
          Em              C  D  G
Still the same, still the same_____

[Verse 5]
                                 C         D
And hidden in the diary they are selling 
                            G
You offer me a mirror for today 
                              C 
In which I see the image of tomorrow 
      D                                  G      Em
And I stare awhile, then turn, and walk away
      C   D         C   D  C  G
Walk away___, walk away__________
