Verse:
I                          II                 III              IV
There is a war in all the heads and there's a war in mine as well
           V                    IV                 I
And if I could explain it any better, I'm sure I would
I                         II             III         IV
We're in a bus and it's night, you opened up and so will I
                 V                    IV                    I
But though I'm good with words, I've never been good with words
Chorus (1):
GBut all I knCow is Dthere's something nGew this yEmear
All I knCow is there's something nDew real neGar
Verse:
I                           II            III                 IV
There is a town that I live in and it's a town that favors winners
            V           IV                    I
And when I win I think about when I'll next lose
I                             II
I took a train that took me north
             III                       IV               V
And it's the place where trees speak louder than the people
          IV                              I
But if I have to pick that's what I'll choose
I                        VI        VII               IV
I walked along the river Ume, it chilled me out of my bones too
          V                IV                 I
But a cold wind is always better than a cold voice
I                              II            III             IV
I am not strong enough for win city, so I'll stay in to play Sin
        V             IV                              I
Witty people without hearts have always had a lead on me
Chorus (2):
But all I know is there's something new this year
All I know is there's something new real near
All I know is there's something new this year
I don't know much, but there's something new coming near
Vers:
I                                 II            III                   IV
I'll walk into the shop where you work, it is a shop that kills you slowly
                 V               IV                                  I
There'll be no blood but another shirt on a hanger will still behead you
I                                   VI             VII                IV
I'll lift your arm and you'll lift mine, and in a Communist state of mind
           V                      IV                         I
We're not worth more than anyone else but surely not worth less
