I Love The World Chords

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: Em The roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes Em They hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance Em In fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads Em Beneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance C G# These cities are illusions of some triumph over Nature's laws Am B We've seen the iron carcass rust and buildings topple into dust C G# And as the waters rise, it seems we cling to all the rootless things Am B The Christian lies, technology, while spirits scream and sing Chorus: Em Am Oh God I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world

Verse 2: Em Well I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand Em That the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease Em You blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice Em And we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink C G# This temple that is built so well to separate us from ourselves Am B Is a power grown beyond control, a will without a face C G# And watching from outside I wish that I could wash my hands of this Am B But we are locked together here, this bittersweet embrace Chorus: Em Am Oh God I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Em Am I love the world, I love the world G C I love the world, I love the world Instrumental: Em D# C B A# G F#m Em D# C B Verse 3: Em C And if one day the final fire explodes across the whitened sky Em6 C/E I know you've said you'd rather die and make it over fast Em C With courage from your bravest friends, waiting outside for the end Em6 C/E With no bitterness but an innocence that I can't seem to grasp C G# I know somehow I will survive - this fury just to stay alive Am B So drunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can walk the hills one last time C G# Scarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll scream to no one left at all Am B I told you so, I told you so, I told you so .
