We're out here on the borders with our favorite few possessions, [Bb] trading stories whispered
[F] round the fire.
[Am] There's shadows in the searchlights, mugshots in the files, [Bb] waiting in the camps [F] behind the wire.

[E] And in your [D] town the streets are [Db] clean, the order stands, the sirens [E] scream.
You took a piece, vacation [Ab] dreams and reinforced the wall.
