    D           G
The holy city breathed 
       D          G 
Like a dying man 
   D                   G
It moved with hopeful tears 
          D                 G
With the tears of the blind 
    F                 Bb
And on and on as the night drew in 
         F
Through broken streets 
      Bb
That sucked me in 
    F                  Bb
My feet were bare and cut with stones 
      F              G
With walking to the promised land

D, G (x4)
 
  D                    
I pushed through crowds 
        G
Through seas of prayer 
        D                  G
Through twisting hands and choking air 
  D               G
A vulture at the wailing wall 
   D
I circled... 
 G
Waiting...
