C
I was born in the deepest and darkest of months
And the fields were
all frozen and raw
I was raised in the dawn of the hydrogen bomb
Ready for
shock and awe
Em
I was wakened by fear in a terrible year
When the
ground opened up its jaws
F
And the sight of the dead coming out of
the earth
Scared me so much I ran off
G
F
Hiding, taking shelter
C
From the wind, from the wind
G
F
I was waiting for the world

C
I'm riding on the tide of love
One night I got caught by the
cinema lights
As I tried to get home in the dark
There was a terrible boy
bringing terror and noise
As the scream echoed over the park
And the
thought of that thin blade of a man
Made every bone in my body shake
I was
barely alive from my nine to five
I was needing to stay awake
Hoping
that you
Hear my cry, hear my cry
I was longing for love
Inside
But I'm living and I'm breathing and I'm real
And I'm sliding and I'm
clinging but you're here
And I'm riding on the tide of love, of love, of love
Riding on the tide of love, of love, of love
But I'm living and I'm
breathing and I'm real
I'm riding on the tide of love, of love, of love
And I'm sliding and I'm clinging but you're here
Riding on the tide of love,
of love, of love
But I'm living and I'm breathing and I'm real
I'm riding
on the tide of love, of love, of love
And I'm sliding and I'm clinging but
you're here
