Verse 1:
  Em               Em6/D           C       C/B   Am7            C            C/B   

Am7     Am7/G    D7/F#
where have all the singers gone? gone to churches one by one the streets have been 

quiet for so long
  Em               Em6/D          C     C/B        Am7               C     C/B     

      Am7   Am7/G
where has all the music gone? the radio keeps everyone at home, slow dancing 

through the telephone 
    C       C/B     Am7      Am7/G       D7/F#          
and then we die and no one knows and theres just the sound of the radios
          C                C/B                  Am7    Am7/G             D7/F#   
while the counterfeits who hate are dreams moan joyful tones through the tv screen
      Am7   Am7/G         D7/F#          Am7      Am7/G          D7/F#
but i can't believe what i have seen now everyone hums the same damn melody 
        Am7     C/B      C                 Am7   C/B   C
and the pushers know the junkies will come back 
   Am7    C/B       C     C/G  D7/F#
if no one ever understands the trap. 

Verse 2:
         Em                  Em6/D        C      C/B                  Am7          

      C      C/B  Am7   Am7/G         D7/F#                
and for those young with out their mouths echoes break the windows in an empty 

house and no one wants to hang around
     Em            Em6/D            C       C/B        Am7                C      

C/B             Am7          Am7/G
not long ago i was just a babe when targets chased the armed parades they ran in 

rhythym with the notes that played
         C     C/B           Am7    Am7/G     D7/F#
and we'd sing along with the fallen rain but that ain't how it feels today
           C                   C/B                   Am7        Am7/G       D7/F#
theres the butchers with those electric bones fired hearts like empty bombs 

explode
    Am7      Am7/G   D7/F#             Am7       Am7/G       D7/F#
now everyone's back on their own dying fast i am not growing old

Em  Em6/D  C C/B Am7  C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#

        Am7    C/B       C           Am7   C/B   C            
yes the lonely know the only way is down 
        Am7  C/B   C    C/G   D7/F#
and not everybody comes back around

Verse 3:
      Em                       Em6/D            C      C/B           Am7           

C           C/B      Am7        Am7/G   D7/F#
whose song has stopped for the voice of god? angels or fools call em what you want 

we all make due with what we've got
        Em              Em6/D     C       C/B         Am7                   C      

       C/B          Am7   Am7/G   
you are hard wired for eternity eyes roll back so the heart can sleep 

conversations bite the ankles of infancy 
        C       C/B     Am7 Am7/G   D7/F#
you and i are a stupid symphony reborn and dying constantly
       C                   C/B          Am7       Am7/G          D7/F# 
like a jukebox wind on the ocean blows take this change and make the silence gold 
    Am7       Am7/G     D7/F#      Am7           Am7/G       D7/F#
its deafening out here on my own i suppose thats just the way it goes 
        Am7  C/B        C         Am7  C/B  C
but the solitude proves everybody wrong 
    Am7  C/B   C      C/G      D7/F#
cuz everybody sings a lonesome song

Outro: Em  Em6/D  C C/B Am7  C C/B Am7 Am7/G D7/F#

       Am7 C/B C  Am7 C/B C  Am7 C/B C C/G D7/F#  G  Em9
