Capo on 1st Fret
EmOn the first page of our Cstory
The Gfuture seemed so Dbright
Then this Emthing turned out so Cevil
I don't know Gwhy I'm still surpDrised
Even EmAngels had, their Cwicked schemes
And Gyou take that, to nDew extremes
Though you'll Emalways be my hCero
Even Gthough you've lost your mDind
Just gonna Emstand there and watch me bCurn
But that's alrigGht because I like the way it huDrts
Just gonna Emstand there and here me Ccry
But that's alrigGht because I love the way you lDie
I love the way you Emlie
Em C G D
EmAnother motherC's breaking heaGrt is taking ovDer
EmAnd the violence cauCses silence Gwe must be mistakDen
It's the Emsame, old theme, since C1916
In your Ghead, In your head they're still fighDting
With their Emtanks, and their bombs, and their bombCs, and their guns
In your Ghead, in your head, they are Ddying
In your Emhead, In your Chead, ZomGbie, Zombie, ZomDbie
What's in your Emhead, in your Chead, ZomGbie, Zombie, ZomDbie

It was the wicked and the Cwild winDd
Blew down the Gdoors to let me Emin
Shattered windows and the Csound of Ddrums

Just a puppet on a Clonely Dstring
Oh Gwho would ever wanna be Emking?
