[Intro] C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C G Am G C F Am G C G Am G C F G C C C C C C C C [Verse 1]
    C        G       Am    G
The sun came up with no conclusion

C       F        Am       G
Flowers sleeping in their beds

     C      G   Am     G
This city's cemetery's humming

    C    F           G  C    C  C  C
I’m wide awake, it’s morning
[Verse 2]
  C       G        Am      G
I have my drugs, I have my woman

     C     F      Am    G
They keep away my loneliness

   C       G         Am      G
My parents they have their religion

    C        F        G  C   C  C  C
But sleep in separate houses
[Chorus 1]
  E        E    E         E      Am    Am  Am  Am
I read the body count out of the paper

    F        F       G    G      C    C  C  C
And now it’s written all over my face

       E    E        E         E         Am  Am Am Am
No one ever plans to sleep out in the gutter

    F            F        G          G     C     C  C  C
Sometimes that’s just the most comfortable place
[Verse 3]
       C         G          Am       G
So I’m drinking, breathing, writing, singing

C    F       Am     G
Everyday I'm on the clock

   C      G        Am     G
My mind races with all my longings

    C          F       G      C   C  C  C
But can't keep up with what I got
[Verse 4]
     C      G           Am    G
So I hope I don’t sound too ungrateful

     C    F       Am     G
What history gave modern man

  C   G        Am      G
A telephone to talk to strangers

  C          F     G      C    C  C  C
Machine guns and a camera lens
[Chorus 2]
               E        E       E           E   Am      Am  Am  Am
So when you’re asked to fight a war that’s over nothing

     F       F        G           G     C   C  C  C
It’s best to join the side that’s gonna win

    E        E        E      E        Am      Am
And no one’s sure how all of this got started

Am              Am        F      F       G       G     C   C
But we’re gonna make them goddam certain how its gonna end

    C                C
(Oh yeah we will, oh yeah we will!)
[Interlude 1] C G Am G C F Am G C G Am G C F G C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C [Verse 5]
       C          G      Am     G
Well I could have been a famous singer

   C     F       Am     G
If I had someone else’s voice

    C         G      Am      G
But failure’s always sounded better

      C          F     G         C
Let’s fuck it up boys, make some noise!
[Interlude 2] C C C C C C C C C C C C C C C [Verse 6]
    C        G       Am    G
The sun came up with no conclusion

C       F        Am       G
Flowers sleeping in their beds

     C      G   Am     G
This city's cemetery's humming

    C    F           G  C
I’m wide awake, it’s morning
