Chords with lyrics

verse 1
    C majorC           E minorEm
We were riding out to meet the Sun
    D MajorD              C majorC
We were shaking from the things we'd done
    C majorC           E minorEm
We were breaking every pattern straying from the map
  D MajorD
To make a new life on the run

    C majorC           E minorEm
We were sick of life behind a lens
    D MajorD             C majorC
With it stripped of all its innocence
     C majorC            E minorEm
Watch the hands above the puppets make another war
    D MajorD          D MajorD
For the benefit of their own ends

verse 2
   C majorC           E minorEm
So we grew up with a fear of God
     D MajorD           C majorC
Made guilty of the things we're not
    C majorC            E minorEm
We were lost in vicious circles looking for a key
D MajorD          D MajorD
Another door, another lock

    C majorC           E minorEm
As the Sun was dancing on the lake
     D MajorD           C majorC
There was only so much we could take
   C majorC           E minorEm
So we left it all to happen, left it all to chance
D MajorD                 D MajorD
With a passion that they could not shake

verse 3
    C majorC       E minorEm
We've assassinated pacifists
   D MajorD            C majorC
As if peace was something to resist
     C majorC         E minorEm
With the history repeating one day to the next
D MajorD            D MajorD
Another thousand on the list

  C majorC            E minorEm
So what are we without the fear?
  D MajorD            C majorC
And what are we without the shame?
  C majorC            E minorEm
And what are we when all is clear?
D MajorD           D MajorD
What are we without a name?
