Heartland

Verse:

How long can this go on

How long can we see this wrong
B flat
and sing the same old song

There s a desert all round me

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

Now I stand, I can t

turn and face away
Chorus:

Here I will stay, on my

own, I will pray, all
B flat
alone, on this stage

in the heartland
Verse 2:

When the color of your skin

decides where you begin
B flat
then thats what lies within

So if you walk alone

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

Take your stand

this truth will fade away
CH:

Here I will stay, on my

own, I will pray, all
B flat
alone, on this stage

in the heartland
Instrumental to another chorus chord sequence
C B flat
I was on the outside
C B flat 5
always looking in

Now I stand

I can t turn and face away
Followed by two more choruses.
