in the city , she wakes , before the break of day ,

she’d burn the city down , she’d burn it all for love

G D
can you see the people , staring at the steeples
Am C
wondering why they’re so lonely , so lonely?

wondering why it’s so lovely , so lovely?

Am C
then the village voice review took the fire from her eyes

G D
we’re walking right beside the ones we used to fight ,

the flag is waving white , the flag is waving white ,

we see for the first time , when we stop the fight ,
Am C
the flag is waving white , the flag is waving white
