	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm	C/F	C/E	C/D#	D

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	Mother doesn't	know where love has	gone

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

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	I see it in her	face that's turned to	ice

	C	Em	C	D
	And when she	smiles she shows the	lines of sacri	fice

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	Father	made my histo	ry

	C	Em	F	C
	He thought for	what he thought would	set us somehow	free

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	They taught me	what to say in	school

	C	Em	C	D
	I learned it	off my heart but	now that's torn in	two

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	Born on	different sides of	life

	C	Em	F	C
	We feel the	same and	feel all of this	strife

	G	Em	Bm	Bm/A	Bm
	So come to	me when I'm a	sleep

	C	Em	C	D
	We'll cross the	lines and	dance upon the	streets.

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

	F	C	G
There's a	scar right through my	heart but I'll bear it	again

	F	C
Oh I	thought we were the human	race

	G	G/F#	Em
But we were	just another	borderline	case

	Am7	C	D
And the	stars reach down and tell us there's	always one	escape.

	G	G/F#	Em
	I don't	know where love has	gone

	C	Em	C	D
	And in this	troubled land	desperation keeps us	strong.

	G	Bm	Em
	Fridays	child is full of	soul

	C	Em	C	D
	With nothing	left to lose there's	everything to	go
