[Intro]
G D Em Em
D Dsus2 C C
[Verse]
G D
The yellow sun
Em Em
Well, it took the hand
D Dsus2
Of a country boy
C C
To a city in a far-off land
G D
We made no mark
Em Em
No shadow at all
D Dsus2
On the ancient, holy streets
C C
Where I learned to crawl
[CODA]
A G C F
The broke and the bruised
C
The young and the used
G
The sure and confused
Em
All here
[Chorus]
A
Words will land on me
A/D
Then abandon me
F#m E
Mangle, untangle me
D
Leave me on the floor
A
Rhymes, they sprang in me
A/D
Summer sang in me
F#m E Bm7
But summer sings in me no more
[Verse]
G D
Now I'm twenty-five
Em Em
And trying to stay alive
D Dsus2
In a corner of the world
C C
With no clear enemies to fight
G D
It's hot as hell
Em Em
We're like butter on toast
D Dsus2
But there's no army in this world
C C
That can fight a ghost
[CODA]
A G C F
The broke and the bruised
C
The young and the used
G
The sure and confused
Em
All here
[Chorus]
A
Words will land on me
A/D
Then abandon me
F#m E
Mangle, untangle me

Leave me on the floor

Rhymes, they sprang in me

Summer sang in me
F#m E Bm7
But summer sings in me no more
[B-PART]
D7sus2
Listening to the cries
Em7
Exchangings
Fmaj7
The silence in the foreign ground
D7sus2
Listening to the thunder
Em
The sky is strange
G
Stretched over everyone
D7sus2
Listening to the tanks
Em
The shots come
Fmaj7
The noise from dusk till dawn
D7sus2
Listening to the calls
Em7 A
Shouts, frustration
[Verse]
G D
At twenty-one
Em Em
I was born a son
D Dsus2
And on that day I knew
C C
I could kill
G D
To protect the ones
Em Em
We put bullets in guns
D Dsus2
Or anything it takes
C C
To take a life until it's still
[Outro]
G D Em Em
D Dsus2 C C
