Chords

appears to be alot of hammer-on//pull-offs
G                   G
What will you find, where will you be

G                    G
when you gotta trade for company

Em                 Em
Those plastic guns and infantry

Em                Em
for a silent army in the trees?

G                         G
Well this ain't the woods behind the house

G                  G
there ain't nobody screaming out

Em              Em
for you to come inside and eat

Em          Em
You're just holding your friends

    G
and watching them bleed

G               G
Wore camouflage on Halloween,

G              G
a plastic bag, an M-16

Em               Em
Door to door and house to house

Em               Em
but ain't nobody handing it out, yeah

G              G
nothing's ever what it seems

G                            G
when you're kicking in teeth and wishing it dreams

Em                Em
Just plastic guns and infantry

Em                Em
for a silent army in the trees
G G Em Em
G                  G
Now baby don't you let me down

G                G
a world away and still somehow

Em              Em
Can't shake the feeling that you're out

Em                      Em
With another man's arms wrapped tight around you

G                   G
At night it's cold, we sit and freeze

G                  G
running red lights in our Humvees

Em                Em
Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be

Em                    EM
afraid of little kids playing in the streets

G                   G
Well this ain't the woods behind the house

G                  G
There ain't nobody screaming out

Em              Em
for you to come inside and eat

Em          Em
You're just holding your friends

                  G
and watching them bleed
G G Em
Bm    G   G
  I'm on fire

Bm  Em  G
All ice on the outside

Bm   Em  G
That old man in the sky

Bm        Em  G
Well he's all ice on the outside
G G Em Em
G                 G
A muted whale out in the streets

G                   G
You watch the stage but burn the seats

Em             Em
Two metal legs to get along

Em                 Em
You ain't got much without one to stand on

G                   G
Sometimes at night, I hear it roll

G              G
A hundred cars long, pulling out slow

Em                 Em
Like the engineers inside my head

Em            Em
Cold and dark like your side of the bed yeah,

G              G
nothing's ever what it seems

G           G
And even if it is, ends justify means

Em                Em
With plastic guns and infantry

Em                Em
for a silent army in the trees

Bm  Em  G
I'm on fire

Bm  Em  G          G
But all ice on the outside

Bm   Em  G          G
That old man in the sky

Bm   Em   G          G
Well he's all ice on the outside
G G Em Em
