Tom: A

F#m D E A
F#m D E A


[Chorus]
A                           D              A
Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me
A              E
Just as much as I love her
A              D          A
We are unified still crucified
F#m   D              E          A
Just because we live across the tracks, yeah

A D A A E


[Verse]
A               D
White or black, day or night
A                                 E
What's the difference when you've hurt someone?
A                  D
You can walk tall, you can act small
A            E      A
Any fool can fire a gun


[Chorus]
A                           D              A
Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me
A              E
Just as much as I love her
A              D          A
We are unified still crucified
F#m   D              E          A
Just because we live across the tracks, yeah alright yeah

[Verse]
A               D
So we slip away and pretend to play
A               E
And it said how families make you run
A                D
If my daddy ever caught me kissing her
A                  E         A
I believe he would shoot his son
A                    D
But we're growin' up and there'll come a day
A                   E
When the real world makes us run away
A                    D
Now we live in shame and play their silly game
A                              E       A
Soon we'll be gone and I don't have to say, yeah


[Chorus]
A                           D              A
Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me
A              E
Just as much as I love her
A              D          A
We are unified still crucified
F#m   D              E          A
Just because we live across the tracks, yeah


[Outro]
A                  D          A
Across the tracks, across the tracks
A                      E
We won't stand forever across the tracks
A                  D
Across the tracks, across the tracks, oh
