A      C#m           F#m
I have only words to play with

Singalongs in broken English
      C#m            F#m
A malady from middle ages

I lost my accent in the plague
A             C#m          F#m
It's a murder mystery how my
            D                   A
Grapes all turned to cheap red wine
              C#m               F#m

A       C#m         F#m
I have millions of opinions

         C#m            F#m
Under a pseudonym I'll write them
            D             A
I can't be honest with myself
A             C#m        F#m
It's a murder mystery unsolved
                    D               A
But I heard it was laced with fentanyl
             C#m               F#m
What am I to do with all this sorrow?

But the war ain't over

little toy soldier
             E               A

You wanna raise hell

And burn the candle at both ends

little toy soldier
             E               A
This is the calm before the storm

One day you'll see them all again?
                E             A    C#m   D   E
One day you'll see them all again?
