Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]This is where the hel[G]icopters
[Em]came to take me [A]away[D]
This is where the chil[G]dren
used to [Em]play[A][D]
This is only [G]half a mile away
[Em]from the attac[A]k[D]
This is where my life [G]changed in [Em]a day
And then it changed [A]back
[D]Buried in [Bm]the din of rotor noise
[D]and clo[G]se explo[D]sio[Em]ns
[D]I do my best to syn[Bm]thesize the
[D]sounds and [G]my emo[A]tions[D]

[Verse 2]
This is where the al[G]lies bombed
[Em]the school
They say by mistake
[A]Her[D]e nobody takes [G]me for a [D]fool[Em],
just for [A]a fake[Asus4]
[D]Later [C]at the [Bm]hotel bar,
[D]the journalists are wait[Em]ing
[D]I hurry [C]back [D]to [Bm]my guitar while
[D]they're com[G]miserat[A]ing

[Verse 3]
And [D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing [Asus4]soon[A]
[D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing soon

[Interlude 1]
[Em][A][D][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 4]
Just as soon as we [G]were on the ground
[Em]We were back in the [A]jet[D]
Just another [G]three day foreign tour
[Em]we'd never forge[A]t[D]
It's [C]hard to sym[Bm]pathize with [D]all
this [G]devast[D] ati[Em]on
[D]Hopping 'round from site [Bm]to site
like [D]tourists [G]on vaca[A]tion

[Verse 5]
And [D]I'll be [G]leaving [D]soo[Asus4]n[A]
[D]I'll be [G]leaving [D]soon
[Em][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]
I [C]can't help [Bm]anyone 'cause
everyone's so [A]cold[D]
Every[C]one's so [Bb]skeptic[Asus4]al of
[Gm]everything [G]they're tol[Bm]d
And [C]even I get sick [Em]of n[Bb]eeding
to be sold
[A]

[Verse 7]
[D]
Though it's only [G]half a month away,
[Em]the media's gone[A]
[D]An entertaining scandal[G] broke today,
[Em]but I can't move on[A]
[Asus4]I'm haunted b[D]y a story a[G]nd I do
[D]my best [G]to tell it[Em][D]
Can't even give this stuff away,
why would I sell [Em]it?[D]
Everybody's [C]laugh[Bm] ing,
while [Asus4]at me the[D]y point [G]a finger[Em]
A [D]world that loves [C]its [Bm]irony
[A]must hat[D]e the pro[G]test singer[A]

[Verse 8]
So, [D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing [Asus4]soon[A]
[D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing [Em]soon[Asus4][A]
[D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing [Asus4]soon
[D]I'll be [G]leav[D]ing soon
