Badflower – Machine Gun (Guitar)

                      D       A                F#m      E
That's just what they told me, "You could be a patriot"

                     D       A                 F#m        E
"Don’t you love your country? Don't you wanna die for it?"

                 D       A           F#m   E
How could they enlist me? I was only 17

                  D       A                       F#m     E
It's better to be thankful than challenge their authority

                D       A
This is how the world is

                 F#m         E
This is how they suck you in

               D     A
Manipulate the broken

                F#m        E
To suffer every consequence

                 D         A
They gave me a machine gun

                  F#m        E
But I don’t wanna hurt no one

                        D        A
There's nothing here to fight for

                F#m       E
This is someone else's war

                      D      A                      F#m      E
That's just what they told me, "Son, you could be a patriot"

                 D       A                 F#m     E
Defеnder of your country, protector of the innocеnt

                      D            A                 F#m       E
We'll beat 'em with a clenched fist by order of your government

                      D        A                       F#m        E
They said we were the good guys, but what if we're the terrorists?

                D       A
This is how the world is

                 F#m         E
This is how they suck you in

               D     A
Manipulate the broken

                F#m        E
To suffer every consequence

                 D         A
They gave me a machine gun

                  F#m        E
But I don’t wanna hurt no one

                        D        A
There's nothing here to fight for

                F#m       E
This is someone else's war

                D       A
This is how the world is

                 F#m         E
This is how they suck you in

               D     A
Manipulate the broken

                F#m        E
To suffer every consequence

              D     A
I'm only a statistic

                F#m         E
And no one even gives a shit

                     D          A
The treatment for my shell shock (Yeah, yeah)

                      F#m       E
Yeah, they won’t even pay for it

                     D   A
I fired that machine gun

                 F#m        E
I never meant to hurt no one

                      D         A
And as my friends and foes bleed

             F#m             E
We satisfy a rich man's greed

                     D         A
Maybe I don't know a damn thing

                        F#m     E
I've never been through anything

              D     A
This is all I can be

                    F#m         E
A voice for someone else’s grief

                D
He fired that machine gun
