then :

C

C
if you loosen liable lips
C
you keep sinking all my ships
Am C
oh and youre the one who sank my lusitania
Am C
but somehow it dont register as pain , at all
G
till it finds our crooked vein
F
it should help
F
oh lets not remember the name

F
oh – oh – oh ooo
F C
you made lines along your shore
F
oh no ooo
F C
through my heart that ripped and tore
F
oh ooo
F G
we dont study this war no more

Am , C , Am , C ,
G , F , C

C
so we let our backbones slip
C
till the arc spits from my fingertips
Am C
and well become a hazard in the rain
Am C
boy well get charged out in the way
G
and theres A 60 – cycle hum
F C
go ahead , say something dumb boy , theres no shame
G
theres no shame
F C
go ahead , say something dumb boy , theres no shame

F
oh – oh – oh ooo
F C
you laid mines along your shore
F
oh no ooo
F C
through my heart that ripped and tore
F
oh ooo
F G
we dont study this war no more

C [ repeat the little intro line before each bar . ]
