Em
this england made me
A
between the war and a rockets flying
F#m
you found the crib it saves me

and you won’t see
A
and baby now i won’t hear

these blind communications

and half of what we’re saying
A
is halfway near the truth
F#m
and blind communications
B
for a million hearts and fools

verse
Em
i Am a witness
A
to a land of a million fools
F#m
all placing bets on life
B
and hate the ones who lose
Em
and all who � re lonely
A
and never get the chance to say
F#m
that their one and only
B
would be the chance to even play

chorus

Em
hello monday
A
the weekend’s just a blur
F#m
i’ve been burning bridges
B
and now i’m begging at your door
Em
so i’ll keep on working
A
’cause it’s a chance for me to pay
F#m
but too much talking
B
when you believed the words i say

chorus ( repeat to end )
