Smoke or Fire is an American punk rock band from Boston, Massachusetts.
The band originally formed in 1998, when western Massachusetts natives Joe McMahan (lead vocals and guitar) and Jeremy Cochran (guitar) got together with fellow Boston University students Ken Gurley (bass) and Nick Maggiore (drums), hailing from New Hampshire. Originally calling themselves Jericho, the boys released their debut album, When the Battery Dies, in 2000. Their fan base grew as they played DIY basement shows and small clubs throughout the Northeast.

Chords are the same throughout the whole song except at the end. Timing is slightly different every other time you play the 4 chord progression.
Intro: G, Em, C, D
G Eight years ago on a summers night Em On the streets of L.A. was our first fight CD Turned out to be the first of many more G The country was all in up rise Em Who the blame and who to fight CD Who to kill and bomb G To settle the score
G You said "My love, at times like these Em You don't dare question the president," CD And I raised my voice to the girl I most adore G I said "I know it's hard for you to see EmC But I will not blindly follow one who blindly leads DG No matter what the cause."
G Three thousand dead in NYC EmC And now three thousand more across the sea D No-one can tell me what for G And I'm not one to say I told you so Em But time has passed, and now we know CDG That honey, I was right about the war
Em (let ring) Rich man's chess game is called "a war" C (let ring) D (let ring) And the pawns they use are named "the poor" And no-one ever wins G And I say for shame on anyone Em Who orders young men to shoot a gun CD For these gods you all kill and die so easily for
G My dear, the end is coming soon Em Not for the Earth, but for me and you CDG And every other soul who shares the world CDG Kill a million men, but ideas will still endure CDG People were not meant to shoot for sport C (let ring) D (let ring) G (let ring) God dammit, I was right about the war
