Bsus4   Esus4


[Verse 1]
        E5                 Em/C    Em/C *
You can make a fire out of anything
        E5                     Em/C    Em/C *         E5           Em/C  Em/C *
You can warm your hands on the plastic burning on the frozen ground
         Bsus2        Esus2
When the only word is 'when'
        E5                    Em/C    Em/C *
You can make a camp out of anywhere
E5                      Em/C   Em/C *        E5           Em/C  Em/C *
Polythene sheets and rope until they come to pull it down
Bsus2             Esus2
   You just start again


        [Chorus]
        C/G
        Winter storms and the snow flying
        Am
        Razor wire and the gulls crying
        G                  Bm            
        Cross the water or die trying


[Instrumental]
2x
E5      Em/C Em/C *


[Verse 2]
        E5                          Em/C  Em/C *
You can make a little hope out of anything
Em/C *                         Bsus4     E5    Em/C  Em/C *
Follow the latest rumour to an empty concrete yard
       Bsus4   Esus4
On the edge of town
       E5                       Em/C      Em/C *
Where there's always someone to take your money
        Em/C *            Bsus4                   E5    Em/C  Em/C *
There's always someone to make a promise and then go to ground
  Bsus4            Esus4
Another face to forget


       [Chorus]
        C/G
        Winter storms and the snow flying
        Am
        Razor wire and the gulls crying
        G                  Bm             Em  B5
        Cross the water or die trying
        C/G
        Winter storms and the snow flying
        Am
        Razor wire and the gulls crying
        G                  Bm             Em  B5
        Cross the water or die trying


                [Bridge]
                      Am
                You can lie awake through the long dark night
                    C/G
                And count the trucks as they go passing by
                Am                                  C/G
                   The ships loading up and sailing out for the promise land
                      Am                                                       
                You can listen to the wind as it whips up the sand from the dunes
                Cm7/G                                 C/G
                And dream and dream that it blows and blows and blows
                      Cm7/G
                All the fences in the world down to the ground


[Instrumental] 
2x
E5      Em/C Em/C *
Em/C *  Bsus4
E5      Em/C Em/C *
Bsus4   Esus4    


[Verse 3]
        E5                 Em/C  Em/C *
You can end the journey anywhere
        Em/C *                Bsus4               E5         Em/C  Em/C *
You can lose your hold on the axle frame and fall into the road
    Bsus4     Esus4 
And under the wheels
             E5                          Em/C  Em/C *
You can fall right through the world and disappear
          Em/C *           Bsus4             E5        Em/C  Em/C *
Playing a game of hide-and-seek just one too many times
          Bsus4                Esus4 
Until the time that you're not found


      [Chorus]
        C/G
        Winter storms and the snow flying
        Am
        Razor wire and the gulls crying
        G                  Bm             Em  B5
        Cross the water or die trying
        C/G
        Winter storms and the snow flying
        Am
        Razor wire and the gulls crying
        G                  Bm             Em  B5
        Cross the water or die trying
        G                  Bm             Em  B5
        Cross the water or die trying
        G                  Bm             Em
        Cross the water or die trying
