Manic Street Preachers – Are Mothers Saints (Guitar)

   Dmaj7                            A
If piss is yellow then life must be gray

    Dmaj7                             A
How come they smile when we throw it away?

     Dmaj7                           A
And if it is a color then it must be sin

    Dmaj7                              A
You want to apologize but keep it all in

    C#m       Bm  C#m                Bm
Why worship a god when a mother is a saint?

            Esus4  E
Why worship stone?

          Dmaj7  C#m
They give life

            Bm   A G
And take it back

         Dmaj7  C#m
Spit you out

         Bm    A G
But understand

    Dmaj7                                 A
And when their arms are dead, how do they sigh?

   Dmaj7                           A
As gentle as the winter that fades by

    Dmaj7                               A
And some kind of angel appears in their eyes

   Dmaj7                          A
Or is it just the devil screaming inside

         C#m            Bm     C#m
Why give into useless devotion?

                           Bm               Esus4  E
Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and God

          Dmaj7  C#m
They give life

            Bm   A G
And take it back

         Dmaj7  C#m
Spit you out

         Bm    A G
But understand

     Dmaj7 C#m
Stay silent

                 Bm     A G
When you want to shout

      Dmaj7 C#m
Give youth

             Bm A G F# E
We piss it away
