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

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

And the pages of our lives aren't bulletproof
