from the “Built for Fighting” album (2016)

Capo 3rd fret

[Intro]
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD

[Verse 1]
E minorEm
Hammersmith underpass, 7 p.m.
E minorEm
Amongst all the drunkards and legions of men
 C majorC     D MajorD     G+G      E minorEm
A augmentedA troubadour playing a song for the boys
C majorC     D MajorD     G+G      E minorEm
Bask in a chorus, he silence the noise
 C majorC        D MajorD
A augmentedA melody everyone heard
  C majorC           D MajorD
But somehow left people disturbed

[Verse 2]
E minorEm
Cruising through town as the riots began
E minorEm
The young man retires to an old bed for them
  C majorC      D MajorD      G+G      E minorEm
His mattress is laid like a courtesan's bed
  C majorC       D MajorD       G+G      E minorEm
The angst that he feels running wild in his head
  C majorC              D MajorD
His voice in his heart could be heard
    C majorC         D MajorD
Like a fire to ravage the world

[Chorus 1]
    G+G  D MajorD   E minorEm
In the song I have written with anger
  C majorC      D MajorD
And words I have spoken ain't true
      G+G D MajorD    E minorEm          C majorC
With their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings
  D MajorD
Or my point of view

[Verse 3]
E minorEm
The fire in the furnace gets sucked to its hearth
    E minorEm
As the young man becomes a success overnight
C majorC      D MajorD     G+G       E minorEm
Filling out stadiums, grand concert halls
  C majorC     D MajorD       G+G      E minorEm
But strangely around him was torture and war
C majorC        D MajorD
Blissfully so unaware
     C majorC             D MajorD
That the source of destruction was there

[Chorus 2]
    G+G  D MajorD   E minorEm
In the song I have written with anger
  C majorC      D MajorD
And words I have spoken ain't true
      G+G D MajorD    E minorEm          C majorC
With their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings
  D MajorD
Or my point of view
C majorC       G+G
So look to yourself
C majorC         G+G
And find your own way
C majorC       G+G   D/F#D/F# E minorEm         D MajorD
If bitterness hides in- side it forms tidal waves
    C majorC      D MajorD  G+G    D/F#D/F#      E minorEm
Let the last of your lies falter before they're defined
    C majorC      D MajorD    E minorEm
Let the last of your words be kind

[Bridge]
E minorEm D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD

[Verse 4]
E minorEm
Trying to bring the old man back to life
E minorEm
His body is weak and no longer survives
  C majorC       D MajorD    G+G        E minorEm
The source of his anger replaced now with calm
C majorC      D MajorD      G+G    E minorEm
Some might believe he can do us no harm
    C majorC          D MajorD
But the drama will always be heard
    C majorC          D MajorD
As his message devours the world

[Chorus 3]
    G+G  D MajorD   E minorEm
In the song I have written with anger
  C majorC      D MajorD
And words I have spoken ain't true
      G+G D MajorD    E minorEm          C majorC
With their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings
  D MajorD
Or my point of view
C majorC       G+G
So look to yourself
C majorC         G+G
And find your own way
C majorC       G+G   D/F#D/F# E minorEm         D MajorD
If bitterness hides in- side it forms tidal waves
    C majorC      D MajorD  G+G    D/F#D/F#      E minorEm
Let the last of your lies falter before they're defined
    C majorC      D MajorD    E minorEm
Let the last of your words be kind
    C majorC      D MajorD    E minorEm
Let the last of your words be kind
