[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Mother come quick
the doctor is sick lying [Em]there on the street
[Am]Circus Performers they all tried to
warn us of the [Em]blistering heat
And [Am]there aint no water so what is the
bother with [Em]trying to drink
[Am]What's the new plan when your medicine
man has gone [Em]too dead to [F]think
[Am]And [F]I saw you looking out,
I saw you looking at [Am]me (repeat)
And that [G]white picket fence
that you [Am]had as a [F]kid
It aint [G]white anymore and the [F]wood
[Am]has gone bad

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Em][Am][A][Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
The [Am]streets are all empty,
the stores have been picked clean, and the [Em]lights are all out
The [Am]doors are all closed, and the windows all broken,
and the build[Em]ings torn down
And the [Am]dogs own the night but they all lost their
bite and they're [Em]too tired to growl
We [Am]tried throwing stones but you can't stop
the moans of that [Em]hovering crowd
[F]I saw you crying out,
[Am]I sa[F]w you crying at night [Am](repeat)
And that [G]white picket fence
that you [Am]used to [F]have
It aint [G]white anymore and the [F]paint
has gone [Am]bad

[Interlude 2]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 3]
Well the [Am]drugs have worn off and there's blood
in your cough and your [Em]starting to turn
And [Am]the angels will rise as we blankly
stare at their [Em]growing concern
And the [Am]preacher still preaches from outside
the steeple saying [Em]when will they learn
But the [Am]congregations gone they're on the church
lawn and they're watch[Em]ing it burn
[F]I saw [Am]you scream[F]ing out,
I saw you screaming [Am]out (repeat)
And that [G]white picket fence that you
[Am]had when you were [F]young
It aint [G]white anymore and the [F]damage has been [Am]done

[Interlude 3]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am]
[Em][Am][Em]
[F][Am][F][Am]
[G][Am][F][G][F][Am]
[Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 4]
You're [Am]too sick to scream and the last
of your dreams they got [Em]taken last night
[G]And they're gro[Am]wing impatient now all
of the nations are [Em]starting to fight
And the [Am]mothers are crying, the children are dying,
and you're [Em]los ing your sight
Yeah and [Am]it won't be long now,
we'll all be gone, walking [Em]into the [F]light
I saw you reach[Am]ing out,
[F]I saw you reaching [Am]for me (repeat)
And that [G]white picket fence
that you [Am]had a[F]s a kid
It aint [G]shining anymore [F]and it never ever did

[Outro 1]
