Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G#]
[Am][G#][G#aug][E][G#aug][Am][G#]
[Am][G#][G#aug]

[Verse 1]
It [Am]doesn't matter if we all [G#]die[G#aug][G#]
Am[Am]bition in the back of a black [G#]car
[Am]In a high building there is so
much to [G#]do[G#aug][G#]
[Am]Going home time

[Interlude 1]
A story on the radio
[G#][Am]
[G#][Am][G#][E]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Something small falls out of your mouth
And we [G#]laugh
A [Am]prayer for something better
A [G#]prayer
For something better

[Verse 3]
Please love [Am]me
Meet my mother
But the fear takes [G#]hold
[Am]Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the [G#]death [G#aug]blow
Wait[E]ing [G#]for the [G]death
[Gsus4]blow[G]

[Interlude 2]
Waiting for the death blow
[Am][G#][G#aug][G#][G#aug][G#]
[G#aug][Am][G#][E][Am][G#][E]
[Am][G#][G#aug][E]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Stroking your hair as the
patriots are [G#]shot
[Am]Fighting for freedom on [G#]television
[Am]Sharing the world with
slaughtered pigs
Have [G#]we got everything?
She struggles to [Am]get a[G#]way .

[Verse 5]
The [Am]pain
And the creeping feeling
A little black haired [G#]girl
[Am]Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father push[G#]ing her
[Am]Pushing her white face into the mirror
[G#]Aching inside me
And turn me round
Just like the [Am]old days
Just like the [G#]old days
Just like the [G]old [Gsus4]days[G]

[Interlude 3]
Just like the old days
[Am][E][Am][G#][G#aug]
[E][Am][G#][G#aug][E][Am][G#]

[Verse 6]
[Am]Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless [G#]face
[Am]Just a piece of new meat in
a clean [G#]room
[Am]The soldiers close in under
a yellow [G#]moon
[Am]All shadows and deliverance
[G#]Under a black flag
A [Am]hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens [G#]round my throat
I open my mouth
And [Am]my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger [G#]thrashing
in the water
Thrashing in the water
[Am]Over and over
We die one after the oth[G#]er
Over and [Am]over
We die one after the [G#]other
One after the [G]other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
[Gsus4]It feels like

[Verse 7]
[G]a hundred years
A [Eb]hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred [Am]years[G#][Am][G#][G#aug][G#][Am][G#]
[Am][G#][E][G#][Am]
[G#][E][Am][G#][Am]
[G#][Am][G#]

[Outro 1]
One hundred years
[Am][G#][Am][G#]
[Am][G#]
