 Puts people on streets

It's the terror of knowing

What this world is about

Watching some good friends

Screaming let me out!

 Pressure on people

People on streets

 G
 Turned away from it all

But it's so slashed and torn

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?

 GAD
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
 AG
And love dares you to care

For the people on the edge of the night
 GA
And love dares you to change our way
 DA
Of caring about ourselves

 This is our last dance
 GA
 This is our last chance

 This is ourselves
