Intro:
G

Verse 1:
G            C            G           C
I don't know what I want, if I'm completely honest
G               C            G                C
I guess I could start a war, I guess I could sleep on it
G            C            G           C
I don't know what I want, if I'm completely honest
G               C            G                C
I guess I could start a war, I guess I could sleep on it

Pre-Chorus:
D
But hey there kids with guns
C                                                            G
Your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from
G                 C              G                C
I guess it's just bad advice for someone so upstanding
G             C               G              C  
So maybe just ask them twice or be a bit demanding

Chorus:
 C   Em    Bm          A            Bm   
You don't know how to give love to anyone
 C   Em    Bm       D 
You don't know how to pretend
 C       Em   Bm       A                Bm
You told your kids that they'd live long forever
C                             G    D
But the kids don't wanna come home again
C                             G   D
No the kids don't wanna come home again

Verse 2:
G               C
Haven't you any shame?
G               C
Have you got no morals?
G             C
Teaching them how to aim
G          C
No sadness and no sorrow
D
Well hey there mother mine
C                                            G
Your kids are sick but they're gonna be just fine
G      C               G                C
I said possibly not if you keep raising them this way
G                   C            G                 C
You're just leading them to die, oh your disbelief and dismay

Pre-Chorus:
D
But hey there kids with guns
C                                                            G
Your neighbours complain but they don't know where they come from

You don't know how to give love to anyone
 C   Em    Bm       D 
You don't know how to pretend
 C       Em   Bm       A                Bm
You told your kids that they'd live long forever
C                             G    D
But the kids don't wanna come home again
C                             G    D
No the kids don't wanna come home again
