AmI hear the next war coming
FAwake all night-time, smell the blood
AmThe omens always tell me
FI try to listen, can’t decidAe …
AmI rule out paranoia
FToo simple, there must be a way
AmTo sympathise with danger
FAnd to know it’s here to sAtay
G#But you can’t Gmgo far knowing
CIt will make you strong and pale
G#It’ll beat you up and Gmgive you nothing
CAnd let you live only if you dare
G#Cross the swamps and Gmbring your sorrow
CIt will hang on like a tail
G#Even drama queens and Gmheroes know it
AmEscape will always D#fail

AmEscape will always Ffail ….
AmThe next war tries to like us
FBut it’s impossible I guess
AmTo sympathise with victims
FOf our own arrogance and sAtrengthEm  
AI know the next war’s coming
FAnd in my daydreams it strikes Ahard
And all the voices say

Chords in this song · guitar

I hear the next war coming

Awake all night-time, smell the blood

The omens always tell me

F A

I try to listen, can’t decide …

I rule out paranoia

Too simple, there must be a way

To sympathise with danger

F A

And to know it’s here to stay

G# Gm

But you can’t go far knowing

It will make you strong and pale

G# Gm

It’ll beat you up and give you nothing

And let you live only if you dare

G# Gm

Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow

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 ….

The next war tries to like us

But it’s impossible I guess

To sympathise with victims

F A Em

Of our own arrogance and strength

I know the next war’s coming

F A

And in my daydreams it strikes hard

And all the voices say

You know now, we’re your shelter

A Em A

You’ve come back

Em A

You’ve come back

You’ve come back …

G# Gm

But you can’t go far knowing

It will make you strong and pale

G# Gm

It’ll beat you up and give you nothing

And let you live only if you dare

G# Gm

Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow

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 ….
