 Intro:  (Synth). D G Bm A D G D G Bm A

 
(Guitar)  D (over synth)  D   D   D   D   G   D   G   Bm   A  C  C. (verse pattern)
 
          D              D
I want to run    I want to hide
          D                                                             G
I want to tear down the walls    That hold me inside
                        Bm                                A
I want to reach out    And touch the flame
                   C
Where the streets have no name


I, I, I, I want to feel    sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear    without a trace
I want to take shelter    from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name,    oh ah
 

                                              D                                                         D
Where the streets have no name    Where the streets have no name
D                                            G                             G
We’re still building    Then burning down love, burning down love
                    Bm                                A                       D
And when I go there    I go there with you...    It’s all I can do
 

The city’s a flood    And our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind    Trampled in dust
I’ll show you a place    High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name, oh ah


Chorus


                  D
Our love turns to rust
                                G                             G
We’re beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind
                 D                                                D
Oh, and I see love, see our love turn to rust
                                    G                               G
Ah, we’re beaten and blown by the wind, blown by the wind
                    Bm                                A                       D
And when I go there    I go there with you...    It’s all I can do


 
  D   G   D   G   Bm   A D
