      C#
We became the parade on
the streets that we once cleaned
   F#maj7
Expendable soldiers smiling at anything
  G#
Raised on a feeling our lives
                   C#
will have meaning eventually

We were once the answer
and then you discover
You're actually just one
thing after another and
What was the question and
why was the lesson so deafening

Chorus:
                        C#
  This all that matters now
G#/C                             F#
  And that was all that happened anyhow
G#                       C#
  You can look back but don't stare
G#/C                F#
  Maybe I can love you out of there
G#            F#    C#           F#     C#
  And when I went away what I forgot to say was
        F#      C#
  All I have to say
         F#           G#        C#
  Eight letter three words one meaning

And outside forces didn't make it easy
so I thought I'd go before you leave me
Self preservation was no
explanation for anything
Oh but the truth is more than we'll
ever comprehend
I've just started to understand
my friend all of that distance cause
I fell in love with the enemy

Chorus

            F#    C#           F#     C#
And when I went away what I forgot to say was
      F#       C#
All I have to say
       F#           G#        C#
Eight letter three words one meaning

    C#      G#/C             F#
At last we meet on no man's land
 G#                C#
footprints in the sand
    G#/C             F#      G#
We meet on no man's land at last

Chorus

F#     C# F#
One meaning,
 C#       F#   C#
just one meaning
