Just listen to the song a few times to get it right.
GCome out to the edge where it is quCiet
DWhere the ink will drain right out of yGou
GFar below, the sea and its conviCctions
DGet broken by the beach out of your viGew
And onCce there was a time to join the arGmy
And onCce there was a time to hear the neGws
And onCce there was a time for easy silenGce
But now the juDry waits for yGou
GYou're caught between the mirror and the couCntry
DAnd caught up in a prayer of liars' woGrds
GThe hounds are on your scent, you must move swiCftly
DTheir spies just tellin' lies of what they heGard
And onCce there was a time to join the arGmy
And onCce there was a time to hear the neGws
And onCce there was a time for easy silenGce
But now the juDry waits for yGou
GSo make yourself a mask of chrome and heaCrtaches
DAnd give yourself a hand to turn aGway
GOnce you heard a choir when you were dreCamin'
DAnd you wish you could remember it toGday
And onCce there was a time to join the arGmy
And onCce there was a time to hear the neGws
And onCce there was a time for easy silenGce
But now the juDry waits for yGou

G C

Come out to the edge where it is quiet

D G

Where the ink will drain right out of you

G C

Far below, the sea and its convictions

D G

Get broken by the beach out of your view

C G

And once there was a time to join the army

C G

And once there was a time to hear the news

C G

And once there was a time for easy silence

D G

But now the jury waits for you

G C

You're caught between the mirror and the country

D G

And caught up in a prayer of liars' words

G C

The hounds are on your scent, you must move swiftly

D G

Their spies just tellin' lies of what they heard

C G

And once there was a time to join the army

C G

And once there was a time to hear the news

C G

And once there was a time for easy silence

D G

But now the jury waits for you

G C

So make yourself a mask of chrome and heartaches

D G

And give yourself a hand to turn away

G C

Once you heard a choir when you were dreamin'

D G

And you wish you could remember it today

C G

And once there was a time to join the army

C G

And once there was a time to hear the news

C G

And once there was a time for easy silence

D G

But now the jury waits for you
