Broken Circles chords by Levellers

Am
Fired forty rounds in the centre of town
  G
He thought to bring the world around
Am
Sleepless nights with God and Christ
  C   G
The New Messiah
Am
Burn the world to change the days
G
Can be done in better ways
    Am
But to make news and front page
    C     G
You've gotta aim higher

          Am
They didn't build Jerusalem
   G        Am
They didn't find the land
  G      Am
For reasons of security
   G    C    Am
They couldn't find the plans

  G          Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G        C   G
No new songs and no new heroes
G             Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G            C    G
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

Am G Am C G

Am
Took the mic to save day
  G
The rock star's going to have his say
 Am             C   G
interpret this in any way as if it matters
  Am
Cos nothing's black and nothing's white
G
Nothing appears to be quite right
Am
It'll be this way until the day
  C    G
The circle's shattered

          Am
I heard an old song yesterday
 G       Am
About a better world
       G
You know the story
       Am
Well, They're all the same
  G  C    Am
The boy gets the girl

  G          Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G        C   G
No new songs and no new heroes
G             Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G            C    G
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

Am G Am C G

     Am
From the tips of your fingers

The rest is numb
   G
You begin to feel the warmth of the sun
   Am
It's taken away been taking away
C    G
All you once knew
Am
Taking it back takes all you've got
  G
No time to sit and watch it rot
 Am
Believe it's yours and not the lies
  C    G
Or all hell to you

          Am
They didn't build Jerusalem
   G        Am
They didn't find the land
  G      Am
For reasons of security
   G    C    Am
They couldn't find the plans

  G          Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G        C   G
No new songs and no new heroes
G             Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G            C    G   Am...
