[Intro]
G#m


[Verse 1]
    G#m
The city streets are bare at best
A ghost town is all that's left
 E                           C#m
Scribbled on the wall is revolution
    G#m
The windows are all broken out
The doors caved in and signs torn down
     E                           C#m
The sky is coloured grey from pollution


[Refrain 1]
    E                 F#
The times you have to end
           G#m     B
and start again my friend
    F#              G#m
And often times you don't
                E
know where to begin


[Chorus 1]
B                   F#
Tear this down and start it over
G#m   F#/A# B       C#m B  E
We've been  waiting for so long
B             F#
All we had is growing colder
G#m F#/A#  B       C#m  B   E    G#m
I remember when we were so strong


[Verse 2]
   G#m
We used to be a city square
It's a desolate starked sad affair
    E                         C#m
And everyone is forced into seclusion


[Refrain 2]
    E                 F#
The times you have to end
           G#m     B
and start again my friend
    F#              G#m
And often times you don't
                E
know where to begin


[Chorus 2]
B                   F#
Tear this down and start it over
G#m   F#/A# B       C#m B  E
We've been  waiting for so long
B             F#
All we had is growing colder
G#m F#/A#  B       C#m  B   E
I remember when we were so strong


[Bridge]
E
  We are all that's left
F#
Getting on and getting less
  G#m                    B   F#/A#
A generation left in the past
E
  We are all that's left
F#
Getting on and getting less
  G#m                    F#
A generation left in the past
We are all that's left


[Refrain 3]
    E                 F#
The times you have to end
           G#m
and start again my friend
    F#              G#m
And often times you don't
                E
know where to begin


[Chorus 3]
B                   F#
Tear this down and start it over
G#m   F#/A# B       C#m B  E
We've been  waiting for so long
B             F#
All we had is growing colder
G#m F#/A#  B       C#m  B   E
I remember when we were so strong


[Chorus 4/Outro]
B                   F#
Tear this down and start it over
G#m   F#/A# B       C#m B  E
We've been  waiting for so long
B             F#
All we had is growing colder
G#m F#/A#  B       C#m  B   E
I remember when we were so strong
