[Verse 1]
Bb C Dm C Across the flatlands we came out of nowhere special Bb C Dm Am Like a peasant revolution - makeshift weapons in our hands Bb C Dm C We crashed the gates so hard we'd never heard that kind of sound before Bb C Dm Am And braced ourselves for victory and the spoils of the land Gm Am Defences melt away before our frozen blank surprise Gm A From the palace now we stare into a million waiting eyes
[Chorus]
Dm F/C Am I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall Dm F/C Am And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall Dm F/C Am Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost Dm F/C Am In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power
Riff with verse chords (Bb C Dm C)
[Verse 2]
Bb C Dm C Like a vision she dances through the shafts of light Bb C Dm Am Everything I've ever dreamed about focused true and bright Bb C Dm C And fortune opens up the ground, blackens out the sky Bb C Dm Am I kissed her once, I kissed her twice but I couldn't remember why Gm Am When I was young they taught me well to always play to win Gm A But they never said what happens when you've won the bloody game
[Chorus]
Dm F/C Am I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall Dm F/C Am And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall Dm F/C Am Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost Dm F/C Am In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power
[Bridge]
(Gm F Eb) x2
Cm D And all desire is satisfied but still the hunt goes on Gm A It's funny how this feeling stays with all the reasons gone
[Verse 3]
Bb C Dm C We've seen them fat and bloated those who once could hold a flame Bb C Dm Am I've run for home and words gone by but nothing seems the same Bb C Dm C I can watch the world in secrecy from one side of this glass Bb C Dm Am From the other my reflection and I don't know which is worse Gm Am The streets are lined with glittering stores and a million fatted calves Gm A I can catch myself sometimes these days and all I do is laugh, laugh
[Chorus]
Dm F/C Am I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall Dm F/C Am And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall Dm F/C Am Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost Dm F/C Am In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power
