Strange Days - Mat Mchugh
Capo 2
Intro:
C Am F C
C Am F C
Verse 1:
CAll last Amnight
Well I Fdreamt I was freCe
CFree from both Amtruth and love
And they were Ffree from Cme
CDressed up like a Ambusinessman
Making Fmoney off of Cwar
CMessed up as a Ampolitician
Taking Fmoney from the Cpoor
CNo longer Amweighed down
By resFpect, nor decenCcy
CNo blood, no faiAmth found
No Fplace for them to Cbe
CAnd I wore my Amcrown
Like a Fliar's swCord
CCursed at the Amground
That I've bFeen walking oCn
Been walking oCn
Am F C
I've been walking Con
Am F C
Verse 2:
CAll last Amnight
Well I Fdreamt I was coldC  
CStarted up a fiAmre burning
Us Fout of controlC  
CA face I barely Amrecognize
Was Fstaring out from the Csmoke
Then, Cpointed at my bAmlackened heart
But the Fbroken voice then Cspoke
Said, C'plans are only wrAmecking balls
Then Flife gets on its Cway
There's Cmore to this than I Amrecall
Probably Fmore than I could Csay
And if Chate shall be your Amweapon
Lonely Fdeath shall be your Ctoll
And if Cprofit is your mAmotive
Then Femptiness your Csoul
Emptiness your Csoul
Am F C
Emptiness your Csoul
Am F C
Verse 3:
CAll last Amnight
Well I Fdreamt I was goneC  
CNothing left but Amashes
A bitter Ftaste upon your tCongue
CShadows in the Ammarket
Where as a Fchild I had once Cplayed
CAbandoned in the eAmvening
Like a Fbloodless serenCade
CEvery moment Amcrashing
Through my Fmind, cold like the Cwind
That Cwhistles down the pAmromenade
Where my Flove and I had bCeen
No Ccountenance, no Amreason
For the Fthings I may have dCone
Left Cstripped and standing nAmaked
In the Fplace that I bCegun
All come unCdone
Am F C
All come unCdone
Am F C C
Am F C
Saw these strange Cdays
Am F C
Saw these strange Cdays
Am F C
Saw these strange Cdays
Am F C
Saw these strange Cdays
   Am  FTake me awayC

Strange Days - Mat Mchugh

Capo 2

Intro:

C Am F C

Verse 1:

C Am

All last night

F C

Well I dreamt I was free

C Am

Free from both truth and love

F C

And they were free from me

C Am

Dressed up like a businessman

F C

Making money off of war

C Am

Messed up as a politician

F C

Taking money from the poor

C Am

No longer weighed down

F C

By respect, nor decency

C Am

No blood, no faith found

F C

No place for them to be

C Am

And I wore my crown

F C

Like a liar's sword

C Am

Cursed at the ground

F C

That I've been walking on

Been walking on

Am F C

I've been walking on

Am F C

Verse 2:

C Am

All last night

F C

Well I dreamt I was cold

C Am

Started up a fire burning

F C

Us out of control

C Am

A face I barely recognize

F C

Was staring out from the smoke

C Am

Then, pointed at my blackened heart

F C

But the broken voice then spoke

C Am

Said, 'plans are only wrecking balls

F C

Then life gets on its way

C Am

There's more to this than I recall

F C

Probably more than I could say

C Am

And if hate shall be your weapon

F C

Lonely death shall be your toll

C Am

And if profit is your motive

F C

Then emptiness your soul

Emptiness your soul

Am F C

Emptiness your soul

Am F C

Verse 3:

C Am

All last night

F C

Well I dreamt I was gone

C Am

Nothing left but ashes

F C

A bitter taste upon your tongue

C Am

Shadows in the market

F C

Where as a child I had once played

C Am

Abandoned in the evening

F C

Like a bloodless serenade

C Am

Every moment crashing

F C

Through my mind, cold like the wind

C Am

That whistles down the promenade

F C

Where my love and I had been

C Am

No countenance, no reason

F C

For the things I may have done

C Am

Left stripped and standing naked

F C

In the place that I begun

All come undone

Am F C

All come undone

Am F C C

Am F C

Saw these strange days

Am F C

Saw these strange days

Am F C

Saw these strange days

Am F C

Saw these strange days

Am F C

Take me away
