Am I a breeder?

Lost in the details

Chorus 1:
           C
That's the sound of desperation
           Em
That's the sound of desperation
  G                         C
A violent equation from the cloud
           C
That’s the sound of desperation
           Em
That’s the sound of desperation
  G                            C
A federation craving something loud
       Am                        D
From a tone that someone paid to play
                    G
On a martyr’s radio


Verse 2:
              G
Struck by the lightning
             C
Bored by the thunder
           G
Somebody’s feelings
               D
Were hurt by a post
         G
Empty of meaning
                  C
But chock-full of stones and daggers
          Em   D        G
That were thro-own by a ghost


Chorus 2:
           C
That’s the sound of desperation
           Em
That's the sound of desperation
  G                            C
A violent presentation for the crowd
           C
That’s the sound of desperation
           Em
That’s the sound of desperation
G                            C
Panic and persuasion playing loud
       Am                        D
From a tone that someone paid to play
                    G  F#  Em
On a martyr’s radio


Solo:
D    Am    C    G  Bm
D    Am    C    G  D
Em

Em D C


Bridge:
       Em    D       C
Am I a lover? Am I a breeder?
       Em     D             C
Am I a vampire or succulent bleeder?
           G
I would be anything
                Bm
For anyone - at any time - in any place
     C
Be a bright light in a briefcase
     G             D
Or a fighter for a safe space
        Am
For the hopeless - for the punters
        Em                C
For the gatherers and the hunters
    C         G            Am   Em
The desperate many holding on tonight
        C         G            Am   Em
For the desperate many holding on tonight
        C         G            D    G
For the desperate many holding on tonight
