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

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

In the crossfire
A Cbm D
And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
[Chorus]
Cbm
Dark times

Of our war crimes

And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
