Chords with lyrics

INTRO: (elec. power chords palm muted with occasional acoustic flourishes)
E MajorE (E, A, BB) x4

E MajorE      A augmentedA        BB  E MajorE       A augmentedA      BB        E MajorE
What do these marching orders mean? Some halflit fairy tale I move bout their dreams
        A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE       A augmentedA     BB      E MajorE  (E, A, BB)x2
It?s what they do, step one-two. Marching ten paces in front of you
E MajorE       A augmentedA         BB  E MajorE       A augmentedA        BB      E MajorE
Let?s put this countdown clock away. Unfinished parts of the deathray on the lawn
     A augmentedA  BB    E MajorE       A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE   (E, A, BB)x2
Let them rust. Turn to dust, what the heart can?t imagine will trust

F# minorF#m     BB              E MajorE      D MajorD
They, they say we can?t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?
F# minorF#m  BB              E MajorE      D MajorD
They say we can?t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?

(E, A, BB)x2

E MajorE      A augmentedA        BB  E MajorE       A augmentedA      BB        E MajorE
What do these marching orders say? Spelled out in a forgotten language, they leave
        A augmentedA BB     E MajorE        A augmentedA    BB      E MajorE  (E, A, BB)x2
the voice wrecked, don?t connect, what the fuse was there to protect.

F# minorF#m     BB              E MajorE      D MajorD
They, they say we can?t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?
F# minorF#m  BB              E MajorE      D MajorD
They say we can?t make this stuff up, but what else could we make?

C?mon really lose your voice. C?mon really lose it!
E MajorE   F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m    BB   E MajorE   F# minorF#m  C# minorC#m
C?mon really lose your voice. C?mon really lose it!

E MajorE    A augmentedA        BB  E MajorE     A augmentedA      BB      E MajorE       A augmentedA  BB
All your marching orders stay? Are we as past as many ways oh hell no, we won?t go,
     E MajorE      A augmentedA BB     E MajorE      A augmentedA BB    E MajorE      A augmentedA  BB
Say hell no, we won?t go, Say hell no, we won?t go, say hell no, we wont go.
