Em D Am7 C (2x)

[Verse 1]
Em                 D             Am7         C                  Em
  And through the fence I see a ghost of a place that used to breath.
              D             Am7           C
You know it choked away the sun, but we still had food to eat.
        Em                      D
And now everyone is gone to a place that won't be home.
          Am7                                 C
Can they keep their family strong? Will they make it on their own?

[Chorus 1]
G                D                  Am7       C               G
  And we'll be standing when you're gone and we'll be heard again.
                D                Am7              C               Em
We missed our chance but not for long I know somehow we will hold on.
          D                 C
We'll be here, when you're gone.

[Verse 2]
Em              D         Am7              C                 Em
  And then one day we realized, that they couldn't hear our voice.
             D            Am7              C
And it's so hard to understand, when it's caught up in the noise.
        Em                               D
But the ones who fight and die are the truth inside the lie.
         Am7                              C
Now it's all built on our backs and we struggle to survive.

[Chorus 2]
G                D                  Am7       C               G
  And we'll be standing when you're gone and we'll be heard again.
                D                Am7              C               Em
We missed our chance but not for long I know somehow we will hold on.
          D                 C
We'll be here, when you're gone.

[Chorus 3]
G                D                  Am7       C               G
  And we'll be standing when you're gone and we'll be heard again.
                D                Am7              C               Em
We missed our chance but not for long I know somehow we will hold on.
          D                 C
We'll be here, when you're gone.
            Em              D                 C
When you're gone, we'll be here, when you're gone.
