G#m E B F#
[Verse]
G#m E
She wakes up in the morning; the sun is shining in her face
B F#
She turns her head around; she shares the blanket on which the love embraced
G#m E
She looks out of the window; it's a lovely day outside
B F#
She tells herself that things are fine, he pulls the sheets to cover his eyes
G#m E
The essence of the fresh air, that garden held the love affair
B F#
Thinking back their minds are torn in muddle and confusion
G#m E
So far away another sits, who tries to make the best of it
B F#
He don't know quite what's hit him, it's another love illusion
[Chorus]
D# A#5
He gazes in his empty room eyes fixed upon her picture
C#m A#5
The loneliness, dejectedness, God how the fuck he's missed her
D# A#5
His eyes turn turn to the window, the military roar by
C#m A#5
He wonders how much hatred could evolve out of the sky
D# A#5
What God had done for peace on earth, what man destroyed from day of birth
C#m A#5
They are concerned with feelings; they're just ashamed to cry
D# A#5
And one mans plan to push the button makes other sacrifice
C#m A#5
The serenade is dead and now the only question's why?
[Verse]
G#m E
Why when we are young, we're told it's right to love
B F#
Told it's human nature and that comes from God above
G#m E
As time moves on we realise that we all look from the pit
B F#
While a plan hangs above us, to keep us in the shit
G#m E
Because the minute we are born, we're told what's right and wrong
B F#
Raised with certain morals, never mentioned in their songs
G#m E
As we grow up, we find out that the paths been neatly set
B F#
In a world of such destruction, we only can regret
[Chorus]
D# A#5
Regret that is the word of it, as we look for our way out of it
C#m A#5
Why can't they understand we don't want any part of it?
D# A#5
The pain they create everyday, that just ain't gonna go away
C#m A#5
We've got to stick together, but still you're asking why?
[Bridge]
D# A#5 C#m A#5
D# A#5 C#m A#5
G#m E B F#
G#m E
The system stands strong, as our movement starts to crumble
B F#
The pressure we once held, has just turned into a rumble
G#m E
They've got us where they want us, and you all just accept that
B F#
Well don't you think its time; we started to hit back
G#m E
They are the enemy; they want a rope around your neck
B F#
And if they will go that far, then what the fuck is next?
[Verse]
G#m E
Forget the revolution, we've heard it all before
B F#
Heard all of the promises of nineteen-eighty-four
G#m E
It's an impossible task, oh yes, it stands before us all
B F# D#m G#m
Well maybe you'll believe it when your back's against the wall
