Chords

Divine Youth // Manic Street Preachers feat. Georgia Ruth Great song to play and sing alone to, and incredibly simple! Playing it on the acoustic it also sounds good to add an F#m before G in the chorus, and to end the verses on Bm to emulate the bass, but since that isn't strictly what the guitar does in this song I haven't included it below. (Please rate if you can!) ...Intro... D C Em G ...Verse 1...
D                  C                             Em
  Arms around each other, fate falling in the distance

                            G
 Eyes with the look of yesterday

D                  C                Em
 Weakest in the gang, likes to feel alone

                   G
 No love in your tender bones
...Chorus A...
D              A                        G                       
 And I sing to myself, my civil wars within

D                   A                         G
 The victories and failures, I daily lose and win 
...Verse 2...
D                C                  Em
 Money it just finds, a new way to disguise

                    G
 Freedom you don't own anymore

D                   C                        Em
 Divine youth is lying in a battered and a bruised skin

                       G
 I wear but don't recognise
...Chorus A...
D              A                        G                       
 And I sing to myself, my civil wars within

D                   A                         G
 The victories and failures, I daily lose and win 
...Chorus B...
D                      A                G
 The kids are growing old in a digital haze

D                 A                  G   
 It's the devolution of the virtual age
...Chorus A...
D              A                        G                       
 And I sing to myself, my civil wars within

D                   A                         G
 The victories and failures, I daily lose and win 
...Coda... D
