Intro:
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
                    G+G
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
                    Dsus2Dsus2
And we swim in the dark
                        A minorAm
Until our bodies are numb


Chorus 2:
                C majorC
Blind desert rats in the moonlight
                   G+G
Too far from the shore
           Dsus2Dsus2
In the declining years
       A minorAm
Of the long war

Verse 3:
                   Dsus2Dsus2
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
                    G+G
Worse things in store
                    Dsus2Dsus2
In the declining years
              A minorAm
Of the long war
