[Verse]
Am          F              C
Wake up, oh wake up, don't sleep, please
  G          Am            F
I had another one of those dreams
           C                G
Where your feet are bound together
        A7        D          F
And the tin man is spinning again
        Am           F            C            Dm7
Hold my hand, I will stand as the world turns around me
         Am          F           D       D7
Lock the door to the yard or the wind is bound
                            F
To blow my fragile anchors away

[Chorus]
C  Em                 Am
Who's gonna carry the blame?
            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
                   F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
    C/G           C    G                 Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
      F                 C      G
Gotta tend the marching bands
                          Am
When the battered streets are
                          D
When the battered streets are
                          F
When the battered streets are bleeding

[Verse]
         Am        F
And I am losing my hold
    C               D
The soldiers in the hallway
          F                        G
They will break down these walls
            C
There's apparitions behind the bedroom blinds
        D
There is black ink in the bathroom sink
       F
If the gunmen don't let her go
       G                  F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house

[Chorus]
    C  Em                 Am
And who's gonna carry the blame?
            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
                   F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
    C/G           C    G                 Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
      F                 C      G
Gotta tend the marching bands
                          Am
When the battered streets are
                          D
When the battered streets are
                          F
When the battered streets are bleeding

[Verse]
      Am            F
And I know you will try
    C         D
But cannot protect me
           F               G
From these shadows inside
             C
'Cause these dreams I have are so much bigger
         D
Than the blade of a knife or a shotgun's trigger
       F
If the gunmen don't let her go
       G                  F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house

[Chorus]
    C  Em                 Am
And who's gonna carry the blame?
            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
                   F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
    C/G           C   G                 Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
           F                 C      G
They gotta tend the marching bands
                          Am
When the battered streets are
                          D
When the battered streets are
                          F
When the battered streets are bleeding

[Chorus]
C  Em                 Am
Who's gonna carry the blame?
            F              C      G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
                          Am
When the battered streets are
                          D
When the battered streets are
                          F
When the battered streets are bleeding
