                Gm
I hear rumors flying
                  F A#
About a head on crash
          C       Gm
At the stroke of midnight
                 F A#
When centuries clash
      C        Gm
Some going to party
                          F A# C
Some going to kneel and pray
              Gm
Well you can quote the bible
Bribe the devil
             F                    A# B
But there's gonna be some hell to pay

          C
We were young and innocent
              G
Thought this day would never come
       C               D#      F      Gm
And tomorrow seemed a million miles away
       C
Let's look each other in the eyes
     G
And realize it could be time
    D#
To set aside our anger
      D
And know we're all the same

Chorus:
Gm
Take my hand we're gonna cross the line
To a brand new day on the end of time
We're gonna rise as one or fall together
D#               F
Out here on the ledge
       D#             D         Gm
We're standing on the edge of forever

From the silence I hear the thunder roll
Words of the prophets echo in my soul
One salvation in the world to me
I know in my heart if we love each other
We can face what's meant to be
Now there's power in the wrong hands
A madman in a foreign land
If we don't get our senses
It's all gonna slip away

Chorus - x2
