Intro
C#m G# (2x)
[A] [G#]
Verse:
[C#m]Maybe you'll see me on the evening news[G#]
[C#m]Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head[G#]
[C#m]If that's the case, then I've met my doom[G#],
[C#m]If that's the case, then my comrades are [G#]dead.
[C#m]And I don't hate my enemy,[G#]
[C#m]I hate the cloud he's brought ov[G#]er my land.
[C#m]There's no virtue in killing a[G#] man,
[C#m]Neither is there virtue in being afraid [G#]to stand.
Pre-Chorus
[C#m]But I saw the blackc[G#]oats forming lines,
[C#m]They hit our beach[G#]es running.
[A]We're on our knees, bu[E]t not to pray.[G#]
Chorus
[A]You're the only reason I stay[E]
In this coward's melee.[G#]
[C#m]I'd rather die than live without mercy and[B] love.
[A]Sing while the city decays,[E]
"We'd rather go up in flames!"[G#]
[A]Lest we betray the names of dignity and love.[Am]
Verse 2
(N.C. Throughout this part)
You can't change the course of fates sealed long ago,
But hope is not lost, "Code name corbeau!"
We trade their secrets at cost for our lives.
The Panzer is strong, the raven is wise.
[C#m]I tune my ears to the BBC,[G#]
[C#m]I can hear them, they can't hear[G#] me.
[C#m]I long to forget all the horrors I[G#]'ve seen.
[C#m]I'll live like a ghost, I'll [G#]die with the free.
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
N.C.
Inside the fuselage,
Valiant young soldiers singing songs,
"Fear not my downcast brothers,
We are the strong arm of the law.
[C#]By la[C#/C]nd and ai[B]r and[C#/C] sea,
[C#] [C#/C] [B] [A] [G#]
On wings of destiny[A] we ride."
[A]"SING WHILE THE CITY DECAYS![E][G#][A]
SING WHILE WE GO UP IN FLAMES!"[E][G#]
Chorus
Outro
[E] [A] [Am]
I'm [E]on your side until my body drains of blood...
Lest we betray the nam[A]es of dignity and love.[Am][E]
I'm on your side until[A] my body drains of bloo[Am]d...[E]
