Spandau Ballet


G                Em                  Bm7
  Mother doesn't know where love has gone
C             Em                 F                C
  She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong
G                 Em                 Bm7
  I see it in her face that's turned to ice
C              Em                   C             D
  and when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice
 
 

    b   a    C                 D             G    G/f#    Em
And now I  know what they're sayin' as our sun begins to fade
a E/b       C          G/b     Am           
   And we made our love on  wasteland 
       D             G
and through the barricades
 
 

Father made my history
He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free
He taught me what to say in school
I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two
 
 

          C                 D             G              Em
And now I know what they're sayin' in the music of the parade
       C                Am   C        D             F
And we made our love on wasteland and through the barricades
 
 
[Instrumental]
F  C  G
 
 
Born on different sides of life
We fear the same and feel all of this strife
So come to me when I'm asleep (asleep)
We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets
          
And now I know ...
 
 
[Bridge]
F     C                       G
  Oh, turn around and I'll be there
              F                     C                   G
Oh, there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bear it again
      F                          C
Oh, I thought we were the human race
            G                       Em
but we were just another borderline case
        C
And the stars reach down and tell us
          D
there's always one escape
 
 
[Verse 4]
 G          D/F#                  Em
Oh, I don't know where love has gone
C                 Em             C                D
  But in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong
G          D/F#             Em
  Friday's child is full of soul
C              Em                   C           D
  With nothing left to lose there's everything to go
 
 
Now I know what 
 
          C                 D             Em       D     C
And now I know what they're sayin' as our hearts go to their graves
       C                Am   C            D                 F
And we made our love on wasteland, oh and through the barricades
