WAR ON A augmentedA FEELING - Hostage Calm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't exactly figure out the bridge with the key change, I'm not sure what they're
doing there, but I put down what I play. Rest of it should be pretty accurate, this is my
favorite HC song, enjoy.
Tuning: Half Step Down
BB E MajorE
Refused to find the stars aligned in skies ripe for misleading;
BB F#F#
Reserve them my contempt.
BB E MajorE
And worlds behind their obscured lights, confidence depleted
C# minorC#m E MajorE BB
In hopes that you wont find us retreating.
BB E MajorE
The more I stalled, suburban sprawl kept creeping ever closer,
C# minorC#m BB F#F#
Forewarned though I had been.
BB E MajorE
A augmentedA familys ware, so unprepared to cope with their confinement.
C# minorC#m E MajorE F#F# E MajorE
It reminded me of the times, when I sit down and cry,
BB
And hope you find someone who wont hurt you
G# minorG#m E MajorE
As much as I know I do.
BB E MajorE
Twenty-five years down the line, means a hundred changing seasons:
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Do you fear what might well pass?
F# minorF#m E MajorE
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
BB
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Staring up at the ceiling,
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
Waging war on a feeling.
BB E MajorE
Half-asleep machinery, the citys always driving;
BB F#F#
Shouldnt you be too?
BB E MajorE
Motown, dont it hurt to know your best days are behind you?
C# minorC#m E MajorE
But that midnight oil still burns.
F# minorF#m E MajorE
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
BB
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Staring up at the ceiling,
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m E MajorE BB
Waging war on a feeling.
FF G+G DmDm
Share an evening treat on a roadside near
E MajorE
I go to watch things disappear.
DmDm FF A minorAm
And we find time to wonder why things wont feel right.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
(Without escape the hostage waits)
BB E MajorE
With drawn out wars on several fronts, you might find one worth winning.
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Do you fear what might well pass?
F# minorF#m E MajorE
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
BB
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
G# minorG#m C# minorC#m
Staring up at the ceiling.
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m E MajorE
Waging war on a feeling.
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m E MajorE
Waging war on a feeling.
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m E MajorE
Waging war on a feeling.
