Am
I hear the next war coming
F
Awake all night-time, smell the blood
Am
The omens always tell me
F A
I try to listen, can’t decide …
Am
I rule out paranoia
F
Too simple, there must be a way
Am
To sympathise with danger
F A
And to know it’s here to stay
G# Gm
But you can’t go far knowing
C
It will make you strong and pale
G# Gm
It’ll beat you up and give you nothing
C
And let you live only if you dare
G# Gm
Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow
C
It will hang on like a tail
G# Gm
Even drama queens and heroes know it
Am D#
Escape will always fail
Am D#
Escape will always fail
Am F
Escape will always fail ….
Am
The next war tries to like us
F
But it’s impossible I guess
Am
To sympathise with victims
F A Em
Of our own arrogance and strength
A
I know the next war’s coming
F A
And in my daydreams it strikes hard
And all the voices say
F
You know now, we’re your shelter
A Em A
You’ve come back
Em A
You’ve come back
Em
You’ve come back …
G# Gm
But you can’t go far knowing
C
It will make you strong and pale
G# Gm
It’ll beat you up and give you nothing
C
And let you live only if you dare
G# Gm
Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow
C
It will hang on like a tail
G# Gm
Even drama queens and heroes know it
Am D#
Escape will always fail
Am D#
Escape will always fail
Am F
Escape will always fail ….
