Strange Days - Mat Mchugh
Capo 2
Intro:
C Am F C
C Am F C
Verse 1:
C Am
All last night
F C
Well I dreamt I was free
C Am
Free from both truth and love
F C
And they were free from me
C Am
Dressed up like a businessman
F C
Making money off of war
C Am
Messed up as a politician
F C
Taking money from the poor
C Am
No longer weighed down
F C
By respect, nor decency
C Am
No blood, no faith found
F C
No place for them to be
C Am
And I wore my crown
F C
Like a liar's sword
C Am
Cursed at the ground
F C
That I've been walking on
C
Been walking on
Am F C
C
I've been walking on
Am F C
Verse 2:
C Am
All last night
F C
Well I dreamt I was cold
C Am
Started up a fire burning
F C
Us out of control
C Am
A face I barely recognize
F C
Was staring out from the smoke
C Am
Then, pointed at my blackened heart
F C
But the broken voice then spoke
C Am
Said, 'plans are only wrecking balls
F C
Then life gets on its way
C Am
There's more to this than I recall
F C
Probably more than I could say
C Am
And if hate shall be your weapon
F C
Lonely death shall be your toll
C Am
And if profit is your motive
F C
Then emptiness your soul
C
Emptiness your soul
Am F C
C
Emptiness your soul
Am F C
Verse 3:
C Am
All last night
F C
Well I dreamt I was gone
C Am
Nothing left but ashes
F C
A bitter taste upon your tongue
C Am
Shadows in the market
F C
Where as a child I had once played
C Am
Abandoned in the evening
F C
Like a bloodless serenade
C Am
Every moment crashing
F C
Through my mind, cold like the wind
C Am
That whistles down the promenade
F C
Where my love and I had been
C Am
No countenance, no reason
F C
For the things I may have done
C Am
Left stripped and standing naked
F C
In the place that I begun
C
All come undone
Am F C
C
All come undone
Am F C C
Am F C
C
Saw these strange days
Am F C
C
Saw these strange days
Am F C
C
Saw these strange days
Am F C
C
Saw these strange days
Am F C
Take me away
