A minorAm


Verse 1:
A minorAm            Dsus2Dsus2
If the strain proves too much
         A minorAm
Give up right away
             Dsus2Dsus2
If the light hurts your eyes
         A minorAm
Stay in your room all day

Chorus 1:
              C majorC
When the room fills with smoke

Lie down on the floor
      Dsus2Dsus2
In the declining years
         A minorAm
Of the long war


Verse 2:
              Dsus2Dsus2
Well the blood's in the water
              A minorAm
And the shark's gonna come

And we swim in the dark
            A minorAm
Until our bodies are numb

        C majorC
Blind desert rats in the moonlight

Too far from the shore

    A minorAm
Of the long war

Empty room with a lightbulb
              A minorAm
Where the phone starts to ring
         Dsus2Dsus2
Everybody gets nervous
          A minorAm
Nobody says anything


Bridge:
              C majorC
The next day someone's initials
         G+G
Show up on the door
            Dsus2Dsus2
I think I'm gonna crack
              A minorAm
Cant live like this anymore


Chorus 3:
            C majorC
Ugly things in the darkness

Worse things in store

In the declining years
       A minorAm
Of the long war
