[Intro]

Cm
Hands touching hands
Eb
Through a curtain that no longer stands
Bb G
Sister and brother embracing each other
Cm
It's tumbling down

[Verse 2]
Cm
Light from both sides
Eb
Is changing political tides
Bb G
It's turning from clashes to keepsakes and ashes

It's tumbling down

[Chorus]
Bb
Watch as we waltz in the sand
Cm
On this no-man's land
Ab G
See our world turn around
G Cm
Watch it come tumbling down

[Verse 3]
Cm
And through it all
Eb
The watchtowers and garrisons fall
Bb G
Machine guns and fire, the tanks and barbed wire
Cm
Come tumbling down

[Verse 4]
Cm
And in the end

Watch as we spend
Bb G
These moments together, while notions forever
Cm
Come tumbling down

[Chorus]
Bb
Watch as we waltz in the sand

On this no-man's land
