Verse 1:
 BbAcross the flCatlands we came Dmout of nowhere spCecial
Like a Bbpeasant revolCution - makeshift Dmweapons in our hAmands
We Bbcrashed the gates so hCard we'd never Dmheard that kind of sCound before
And Bbbraced ourselves for Cvictory and the sDmpoils of the Amland
DefGmences melt away before our Amfrozen blank surprise
From the Gmpalace now we stare into a Amillion waiting eyes
Chorus:
I've got my Dmtrophies on the wF/Call, the heads I've Amhunted down the hall
And I gDmuard my winnings F/Cwell, carry them Amwith me when I fall
Now the Dmdaylight hours F/Cpass like the Ampeople I have lost
In the Dmtriumph of the F/Chour, in the Ambloody cause - lust for power
Riff with verse chords ( Bb   C   Dm  C)
Verse 2:
 BbLike a Cvision she dances Dmthrough the shafts of liCght
EverytBbhing I've ever drCeamed about Dmfocused true and Ambright
And Bbfortune opens Cup the ground, Dmblackens out the sCky
I Bbkissed her once, I Ckissed her twice but I Dmcouldn't remember wAmhy
When GmI was young they taught me well to Amalways play to win
But they Gmnever said what happens when you've Awon the bloody game
Chorus
Bridge:
( Gm   F  Eb) x2
And Cmall desire is satisfied but Dstill the hunt goes on
It's Gmfunny how this feeling stays with Aall the reasons gone
Verse 3:
We've Bbseen them fat and blCoated those who Dmonce could hold a flCame
I've Bbrun for home and Cwords gone by but Dmnothing seems the sAmame
I can Bbwatch the world in Csecrecy from Dmone side of this Cglass
From the Bbother my reflCection and I Dmdon't know which is wAmorse
The sGmtreets are lined with glittering stores and a Ammillion fatted calves
I can Gmcatch myself sometimes these days and Aall I do is laugh, laugh
Chorus

Verse 1:

Bb C Dm C

Across the flatlands we came out of nowhere special

Bb C Dm Am

Like a peasant revolution - makeshift weapons in our hands

Bb C Dm C

We crashed the gates so hard we'd never heard that kind of sound before

Bb C Dm Am

And braced ourselves for victory and the spoils of the land

Gm Am

Defences melt away before our frozen blank surprise

Gm A

From the palace now we stare into a million waiting eyes

Chorus:

Dm F/C Am

I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall

Dm F/C Am

And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall

Dm F/C Am

Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost

Dm F/C Am

In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power

Bb C Dm C

Riff with verse chords ( )

Verse 2:

Bb C Dm C

Like a vision she dances through the shafts of light

Bb C Dm Am

Everything I've ever dreamed about focused true and bright

Bb C Dm C

And fortune opens up the ground, blackens out the sky

Bb C Dm Am

I kissed her once, I kissed her twice but I couldn't remember why

Gm Am

When I was young they taught me well to always play to win

Gm A

But they never said what happens when you've won the bloody game

Chorus

Bridge:

Gm F Eb

( ) x2

Cm D

And all desire is satisfied but still the hunt goes on

Gm A

It's funny how this feeling stays with all the reasons gone

Verse 3:

Bb C Dm C

We've seen them fat and bloated those who once could hold a flame

Bb C Dm Am

I've run for home and words gone by but nothing seems the same

Bb C Dm C

I can watch the world in secrecy from one side of this glass

Bb C Dm Am

From the other my reflection and I don't know which is worse

Gm Am

The streets are lined with glittering stores and a million fatted calves

Gm A

I can catch myself sometimes these days and all I do is laugh, laugh

Chorus
