Heartland

F

Verse:
F
How long can this go on
Dm
How long can we see this wrong
B flat
and sing the same old song
F
There's a desert all round' me
Dm
and the valley of apathy
B flat
as far as I can see
Bridge:
C            B flat
I was on the outside
C              B flat 5   
Always looking in
G
Now I stand, I can't
C
turn and face away
Chorus:
F
Here I will stay, on my 
Dm
own, I will pray, all
B flat
alone, on this stage 
       C    G  
in the heartland
Verse 2:
F 
When the color of your skin 
Dm                         
decides where you begin
B flat 
then thats what lies within
F 
So if you walk alone
Dm 
while others cast a stone
B flat 
stay on your own
Bridge 2:
C                   B flat 
The changing of the new tide
C                   B flat 5
something you can't hide
G
Take your stand
C
this truth will fade away
CH:
F 
Here I will stay, on my 
Dm 
own, I will pray, all 
B flat 
alone, on this stage 
       C    G 
in the heartland 
Instrumental to another chorus chord sequence
C            B flat

always looking in

I can't turn and face away
