[Verse]
Am F C
Wake up, oh wake up, don't sleep, please
G Am F
I had another one of those dreams
C G
Where your feet are bound together
A7 D F
And the tin man is spinning again
Am F C Dm7
Hold my hand, I will stand as the world turns around me
Am F D D7
Lock the door to the yard or the wind is bound
F
To blow my fragile anchors away
[Chorus]
C Em Am
Who's gonna carry the blame?
F C G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
C/G C G Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
F C G
Gotta tend the marching bands
Am
When the battered streets are
D
When the battered streets are
F
When the battered streets are bleeding
[Instrumental]
C D F C D F
[Verse]
Am F
And I am losing my hold
C D
The soldiers in the hallway
F G
They will break down these walls
C
There's apparitions behind the bedroom blinds
D
There is black ink in the bathroom sink
F
If the gunmen don't let her go
G F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house
[Chorus]
C Em Am
And who's gonna carry the blame?
F C G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
C/G C G Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
F C G
Gotta tend the marching bands
Am
When the battered streets are
D
When the battered streets are
F
When the battered streets are bleeding
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Am F
And I know you will try
C D
But cannot protect me
F G
From these shadows inside
C
'Cause these dreams I have are so much bigger
D
Than the blade of a knife or a shotgun's trigger
F
If the gunmen don't let her go
G F
Or the snake outside will swallow the house
[Chorus]
C Em Am
And who's gonna carry the blame?
F C G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
F
When these injured streets are bleeding?
C/G C G Am
Politicians in command are washing their hands
F C G
They gotta tend the marching bands
Am
When the battered streets are
D
When the battered streets are
F
When the battered streets are bleeding
[Chorus]
C Em Am
Who's gonna carry the blame?
F C G
Who's gonna take up the campaign
Am
When the battered streets are
D
When the battered streets are
F
When the battered streets are bleeding
