I'm not sure this is 100% correct, but it sounds good.

Here goes:

Part1:           Part2:

|---5---5---7--5-|---------3h5----|

Repeat through this:

On the very first decade that we got to dream in
Our fathers were angry, our mother's were screamin'
At the clothes we were wearin' and the music we got off on
Hitler was dead, welcome to Babylon

    x2

                       
Carved our initials out across the sand
                         
The heart and the arrow, no-one understands
                        
Then the tide rolled in and everything ran
                                         
And washed us away, washed us away, washed us away


Part1                                    
Up in the attic ambition was burning
Part1                                                        
Now my fingers were bleedin' but the tables were turning
Part1                                         
Down in the city the future was beckoning
Part1                                          
And I hated myself on the day of reckoning

(Oh yeah)
Carved our initials on top of the cake
The heart and the arrow - the rattle and the snake
How was I to know that the Earth was gonna break
And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away


                                    
Everything's temporary in this world
                                      
Ain't it a shame when you lose someone

Here tomorrow, gone today
Wash us away, wash us away, wash us away

Play Intro Riff during this Verse:

There was never a fool like a young fool alone in
A world without someone he can find a home in
And for all the wrong reasons we rescued each other
You bandaged my heart I never would recover  C F
(ohhhh)

                        
No river runs true, it always takes a twist
                    
Hearts can be broken, arrows gonna miss
                                     
How was I to know that it was gonna come down to this

And wash us away
And we wrote our names on the Dead Sea Scrolls
The young and the restless, the brave and the bold
How was we to know it was gonna get outta control
                                                                     
And wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away, wash us away,wash
          G---->
us away, wash us away

     x2
