[Intro] C#m G# x2 A G# [Verse 1]
C#m                                      G#
Maybe you'll see me on the evening news

C#m                                        G#
Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head

C#m                                      G#
If that's the case, then I've met my doom,

C#m                                      G#
If that's the case, then my comrades are dead.

C#m                        G#
And I don't hate my enemy,

C#m                             G#
I hate the cloud he's brought over my land.

C#m                           G#
There's no virtue in killing a man,

C#m                                     G#
Neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                 G#
But I saw the blackcoats forming lines,

C#m               G#
They hit our beaches running.

A                     E              G#
We're on our knees, but not to pray.
[Chorus]
A                              E
You're the only reason I stay

                        G#
In this coward's melee.

C#m                                       B
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love.

A                           E
Sing while the city decays,

                             G#
We'd rather go up in flames

A                                             Am
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love.
[Verse 2] (Palm Mute)
C#m
You can't change the course of fates sealed long ago,

C#m
But hope is not lost, "Code name corbeau!"

C#m
We trade their secrets at cost for our lives.

C#m
The Panzer is strong, the raven is wise.
(Strum)
C#m                        G#
I tune my ears to the BBC,

C#m                             G#
I can hear them, they can't hear me.

C#m                               G#
I long to forget all the horrors I've seen.

C#m                          G#
I'll live like a ghost, I'll die with the free.
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m                 G#
Traitors and turncoats turned aside,

C#m               G#
Traitors loose lips sink ships.

A                     E                  G#
They're on their knees, but just to beg.
[Chorus]
A                              E
You're the only reason I stay

                        G#
In this coward's melee.

C#m                                       B
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love.

A                           E
Sing while the city decays,

                             G#
We'd rather go up in flames

A                                             Am
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love.
[Bridge] (Palm Muted)
C#m
Inside the fuselage,

C#m
Valiant young soldiers singing songs,

C#m
Fear not my downcast brothers,

C#m
We are the strong arm of the law.

C#    C#/C      B    C#/C
By land and air and sea,

C#    C#/C      B      A      G#
On wings of destiny we ride."

A                            E    G#
SING WHILE THE CITY DECAYS!

A                               E    G#
SING WHILE WE GO UP IN FLAMES!"
[Chorus]
A                              E
You're the only reason I stay

                      G#
In this coward's melee.

C#m                                       B
I'd rather die than live without mercy and love.

A                           E
Sing while the city decays,

                              G#
We'd rather go up in flames!

A                                             Am
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love.
[Outro]
E                   A                      Am
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood...

                    A                      Am    E
Lest we betray the names of dignity and love.

                    A                      Am    E
I'm on your side until my body drains of blood...
