The night is so wild,

For more than an hour,

I have walked in the rain,
Am Em F
I've been wondering, what she will be.

But where are the heroes?
Bb Am D
Where are the dreams that I had, when I was young?
F C
Am I hoping in vain, just to think,
Esus4 E
She could change anything?
Verse 2:
Am Em F
Well, I'm counting on you.

They will never, let history lie.

And this sad little island,
Bb Am D
Is breaking my heart with it's dark, shades of green

I just cannot see why this should be.
