C - G - D - Am
(2x)
C G - D Am
1. Headin'
in or headin' out, standing on the shore,
C G - D Am
pause
a moment to reflect which trip
costs you more.
C G - D Am
Between the ever restless
crowds and the silence of your room,
C G
- D Am
spend
an hour in no man's land, you'll be
leaving soon.
C G
- D Am
2. Victims come and victims
go, there's
always lots to spare,
C G - D Am
one
victim lives the tragedy, one
victim stops to stare.
C G
- D Am
And still another walks on
by pretending not to see,
C G D Am
they're
all out there in no man's land ‘cause it's the safest place to be.
F Bb
- C F
but
sanctuary never comes without some
kind of risk,
F Bb
C D
illusions
without freedom never quite add up to bliss.
F Bb
C F
The haunting and the haunted play
a game no one can win,
F Bb
C D
the
spirits come at midnight and by dawn they're gone again.
C G - D Am
4. And so it seems our
destiny to search and never rest,
C G - D Am
to ride
that ever changing wave that
never seems to crest.
C G
- D Am
To shiver in the darkest
night, afraid to make a stand,
C G
D Am
and then
go back and do our time out there in no man's land.
C - G - D Am
+ Out in no man’s
land. (6x, with lyrics variations) ....
