"War Stories"
[Verse 1]
E F# G#m E
standing on the edge of my nuclear aftermath
E F# B
is where you'll find in my head
E F# G#m E
things are understood by a new found set of laws
E F# B
opposing, the standards of your world
[Verse 2]
F# G#m F# B
mutatated hell in bitter souls, destruction sleeps inside our bones
B F# E
we're broken, but not beyond repair.
F# G#m F# B
and if it wakes, will you let me know that all things still are beautiful,
B F# E
even in our toxic twisted minds.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E
Will you remember my name?
E F# B
Even when the war's fought and done.
G#m F# E
Will you still visit my grave?
E F# B
even though you're happy and moved on.
[Instrumental]
E F# G#m F# E E F# B x2
[Verse 3]
E F# G#m E
I kept a diary, of times that hurt
E F# B
and trusted you with lock and key
E F# G#m E
I said my story's one of stuggles, and regret
E F# B
but you still loved me all the same
[Verse 4]
F# G#m F# B
And though times fly like and the eagles sing, the world spins slower every day
B F# B
or so i'd hope to believe
F# G#m F# B
but the hours drag on in the same old way, and death is waiting docked at the bay
B F# E
his hand outstretched to any who will receive
[Chorus]
G#m F# E
Will you remember my name?
E F# B
Even when the war's fought and done.
G#m F# E
Will you still visit my grave?
E F# B
even though you're happy and moved on.
[Instrumental]
E F# G#m F# E E F# B x2
[Verse 5]
E F# G#m E
crying at the edge of my nuclear aftermath
E F# B
is where you'll find in my head
E F# G#m E
things are understood by a new found set of laws
E F# B
opposing, the standards of your world
[Verse 6]
F# G#m F# B
forget well enough, and take up the fight, tonight our right is to live our lives
B F# E
freedom, is a winning bet any day
F# G#m F# B
lay down your arms, and take up in peace one mammal to another, if you'll listen please
B F# E
I have a question, a prayer if I may.
[Chorus]
G#m F# E
Will you remember my name?
E F# B
Even when the war's fought and done.
G#m F# E
Will you still visit my grave?
E F# B
even though you're happy and moved on.
