[Verse 1]
Cm
Take out all the bad in the world
Gm
What's left in it?
G#
Where's the next gleaming hope
A#
Indefinite
Cm Gm G# A#
I would like to take a stand but not alone
Cm
Gave you what I had give
Gm
And it's not enough
G#
I need a shred of purpose
A#
When living gets rough
Cm Gm G# A#
I need a place unbroken to call my home
[Chorus]
Cm
Dark times
Eb
Of our war crimes
A# Cm Eb
When the bombs we build come back down throught the roof
A# Cm
We are live wires
Eb
In the crossfire
A# Cm Eb
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
A# Cm
I'm a dead man
Eb
In the wasteland
A# Cm Eb
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
A# Cm
Under search lights
Eb
In the long nights
A# Cm Eb A#
We've been written like dystopian fiction
[Instrumental]

Cm Gm G# A#
[Verse 2]
Cm
Love exists in pain even in
Gm
Our tragedy
G#
When the world spins
A#
And we lose our gravity
Cm Gm G# A#
Nobody can shoot me down, not just yet
Cm
Voices of the crowd
Gm
We're screaming into the rain
G#
When those above us
A#
Have long gone insane
Cm Gm G# A#
Give me the strength I need to forget
[Chorus]
Cm
Dark times
Eb
Of our war crimes
A# Cm Eb
When the bombs we build come back down through the roof
A# Cm
We are live wires
Eb
In the crossfire
A# Cm Eb
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
A# Cm
I'm a dead man
Eb
In the wasteland
A# Cm Eb
I'm a soldier fighting for superstition
A# Cm
Under search lights
Eb
In the long nights
A# Cm Eb A#
We've been written like dystopian fiction
[Bridge]
Eb A#
I don't want to look back now
But I can't find the way out
Cm A#
So I won't do it on my own
Eb A#
We are stronger now as one
We will never have to run
Cm A#
Or face the world alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm
Dark times
Eb
Of our war crimes

We are live wires

In the crossfire

And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
[Chorus]
