EM
Look at him now
CGCG
Another used man
G          C
Wearing the passing of his dignity
      DC
With all the courage that he can
         EM
He stood in the storm
C  G      CG
Carved out in stone
G      C
He said I've worn my honesty with pride
     D C
In everything I've done
G                         C         G
So where were you when my ship went down
EM                     C        G
Where were you when I ran aground
G                     C             G
Where were you when I turned it around
EM                       C         G       C
Where were you when they burned me down
    EM
Look at her now
     C         G      CG
All tired and worn
G               C
She never thought her life
 D
Would come to be so cold or so alone
EM
She walked in the light
       C            G    CG
Fought bondage for love
G                        C
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with
  D
But it never was enough

CHORUS

C                               G
Silent souls washed upon the shores
            C         
Left to walk the sands
CD
Evermore, evermore
EM                       C        G      CG
Look at us now, just chasing our lives
G              C
Make like the saviors of the planet
   D
We're just trying to get by
EM
You may walk the line

C     G  CG
You may see it all through
              G             C
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night
 D
Just wondering what to do
