Intro
Dm Am A# C
Dm Am A# C
[Verse 1]
Dm
Take out all the bad in the world
Am
What's left in it?
A#
Where's the next gleaming hope
C
Indefinite
Dm Am A# C
I would like to take a stand but not alone
Dm
Gave you what I had give
Am
And it's not enough
A#
I need a shred of purpose
C
When living gets rough
Dm Am A# C
I need a place unbroken to call my home
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark times
F
Of our war crimes
C Dm F
When the bombs we build come back down throught the roof
C Dm
We are live wires
F
In the crossfire
C Dm F
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
C Dm
I'm a dead man
F
In the wasteland
C Dm F
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
C Dm
Under search lights
F
In the long nights
C Dm F C
We've been written like dystopian fiction
[Instrumental]
Dm Am A# C
Dm Am A# C
[Verse 2]
Dm
Love exists in pain even in
Am
Our tragedy
A#
When the world spins
C
And we lose our gravity
Dm Am A# C
Nobody can shoot me down, not just yet
Dm
Voices of the crowd
Am
We're screaming into the rain
A#
When those above us
C
Have long gone insane
Dm Am A# C
Give me the strength I need to forget
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark times
F
Of our war crimes
C Dm F
When the bombs we build come back down through the roof
C Dm
We are live wires
F
In the crossfire
C Dm F
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
C Dm
I'm a dead man
F
In the wasteland
C Dm F
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
C Dm
Under search lights
F
In the long nights
C Dm F C
We've been written like dystopian fiction
[Bridge]
F C
I don't want to look back now
But I can't find the way out
Dm C
So I won't do it on my own
F C
We are stronger now as one
We will never have to run
Dm C
Or face the world alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Dark times
F
Of our war crimes
C Dm F
When the bombs we build come back down through the roof
C Dm
We are live wires
F
In the crossfire
C Dm F
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
[Chorus]
Dm
Dark times
F
Of our war crimes
C Dm F
When the bombs we build come back down through the roof
C Dm
We are live wires
F
In the crossfire
C Dm F
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
C Dm
I'm a dead man

In the wasteland
C Dm F
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition

Under search lights

In the long nights
