VERSE 1
G Emadd9 Bm7
Mother doesn't know where love has gone,

Cadd9 Em Fadd9 C
She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong

G Emadd9 Bm7
I see it in her face thats turned to ice,

Cadd9 Em C D
and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice,

CHORUS
C Dsus2 G Dadd9/F# Em
and I know, what they're saying, as our sun begins to fade,

C Am7
and we made our love on wasteland,

D G
and through the barricades,

VERSE 2
G Emadd9 Bm7
Father made my history,

Cadd9 Em Fadd9 C
he fought for what he thought, would set us somehow free,

G Emadd9 Bm7
he taught me what to say in school,

Cadd9 Em C D
I learned it off by heart and now thats torn in two,

CHORUS
C Dsus2 G Dadd9/F# Em
and now I know what they're sayin' in the music of the parade,

C Am7
and we made our love on wasteland,

C Fadd9 F Fadd9 F Cadd9 C Cadd9 C G
and through the barricades,

VERSE 3
G Emadd9 Bm7
Born on different sides of life,

Cadd9 Em Fadd9
we feel the same and feel all of this strife,

G Emadd9 Bm7
so come to me when I'm asleep,

Cadd9 Em C D
we'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets,

CHORUS
C Dsus2 G Dadd9/F# Em
now I know what they're saying, when the drums begin to fade,

C Am7 D G
we made our love on wasteland, and through the barricades,

MIDDLE 8

F C G
Oh turn around and I'll be there,

F C G
theres a scar through my heart but I'll bear it again,

F C
well I thought we were the human race,

G Em
but were just another borderline case,

C D
and the stars reach down and tell us, theres always one escape, oooh

VERSE 4

G Dadd9/F# Em
oh, I dont know where love has gone,

C Em C D
and in this troubled land, desperation keeps us strong,

G Em
Fridays child is full of soul,

C Em C D
with nothing left to lose, theres everything to go,

CHORUS

C D G Dadd9/F# Em
And now I know what they're saying, its a terrible beauty weve made,

C Am7 D G
so we make our love on wasteland, and through the barricades,

C D Em D C
now I know what they're saying, as hearts go on to they're graves,

Am7 C D
we made our love on wasteland, and through,

Fadd9 F Fadd9 F Cadd9 C Cadd9 C
the barricades,
Fadd9 F Fadd9 F Cadd9 C Cadd9 C ( REPEAT AS SONG FADES OUT )
