Chords with lyrics

Intro:
F#F#  D#mD#m F#F#

Verse:

F#F#       G# minorG#m
Somewhere in a room

    F#F#     G# minorG#m
With a poster on a wall

   F#F#     G# minorG#m
Of a man with his hand

 F#F#
In a fist

    D#mD#m     F#F#
Is a woman who's drinking

     D#mD#m     F#F#
And her dress is so tight

  D#mD#m      G# minorG#m
You can see every breath

     F#F#
That she takes

Chorus:

   G# minorG#m
Every sigh, every sway

     BB            C#C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G# minorG#m
Something's begun like a war

         C#C#
Or a family or a friendship

   A#A#      D#mD#m
Or a fast love affair

Verse:

F#F#        G# minorG#m
The man on the wall

  F#F#       G# minorG#m
Is his symbol of freedom

   F#F#     G# minorG#m
It means he has brothers

F#F#
Who believe as he does

D#mD#m     F#F#
She is moved by

   D#mD#m     F#F#      D#mD#m
The thing that she sees in his face

   G# minorG#m
When he talks of

F#F#
The cause

Chorus:

   G# minorG#m
Every sigh, every sway

     BB            C#C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G# minorG#m
Something's begun like a war

         C#C#
Or a family or a friendship

   A#A#      D#mD#m
Or a fast love affair


   G# minorG#m
Every sigh, every sway

     BB            C#C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G# minorG#m
Something's begun like a war

         C#C#
Or a family or a friendship

   A#A#      D#mD#m
Or a fast love affair

Verse:

F#F#        G# minorG#m
She leans against him

  F#F#     G# minorG#m
Her dress is so red

   F#F#     G# minorG#m
They talk of the salt

   F#F#
And the truth and the bread


   D#mD#m    F#F#
The night goes along

  D#mD#m     F#F#
The fan goes around

    D#mD#m     G# minorG#m
In the room off the street

    F#F#
At the end of the town

Chorus:

   G# minorG#m
Every sigh, every sway

     BB            C#C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G# minorG#m
Something's begun like a war

         C#C#
Or a family or a friendship

   A#A#      D#mD#m
Or a fast love affair

Outro:

F#F# G# minorG#m  x4
oooohhhh
