Hey guys, really love this song, awesome band! I think this is pretty close, not 100%
about the bridge, any corrections just leave a comment, cheers... Enjoy =D
Sounds better if you play barre chords for the chorus if you can, if you cant, its not
important and keep practising, you'll get there =D
God Bless =D

**Fear... Down... Up...
The American situation
Is on our minds again
And I don't know if I've been here before
We would try to go to sleep
But we're running round in circles
**For fear of falling down and we cant get up
---Chorus---
DmDm FF
And I wait for the morning light
C majorC
To burn away the slings and arrows
G+G
Flying through the night
DmDm
And I am home
FF
But I am not a man
C majorC
They will try to take the things
G+G
That you can't hold down with your hands
FF C majorC
So hold them down

**Always There.. Always There.. Always There..
A augmentedA war across an ocean
Is like a dream from which you've woken
If you don't like what you see
Then go to sleep
But the smell of smoke is in your hair
And the heavy heart is always there
**It's always there
It's always there
It's always there
---Chorus---
