F#m          D6
Sent away to school

        G
We were taught to march and shoot

             Asus4
And take our discipline in teams

     F#m              Bm
They trained us to be hard

    Asus4
For cruelty and manhood

      A
Are synonymous it seems
[Bridge]
    F
And we ...

     Bb     | Em7 | Asus4 A |
Knew camaraderie
[Chorus]
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

        | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Our hideaway

        | Asus4   Asus4/G   Asus4/E   |
We would play the strangest games

        | A        A/G     A/E   |
That any boy might like to play

      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

             | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Both night and day

      | Asus4     Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
Candles flickered casting shadows

     | A        A/G       A/E   |
On the monsters and their prey
[Verse 2]
F#m                D6
Mother, I wrote to you

         G
But your answers only said

            Asus4
That it’s important to be brave

F#m             Bm
Father was far away

     Em7
In a corner of the empire

         A
Where we never shall be slaves
[Bridge]
    F
For we ...

     Bb     | Em7 | Asus4 A |
Knew camaraderie
[Chorus]
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

          | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
A boy could see

     | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
How survival of the  fittest

      | A         A/G    A/E   |
Meant destruction of the weak

      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

    | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
A tyranny

    | Asus4     Asus4/G  Asus4/E   |
Was imposed by those who crowed

           | A        A/G   A/E   |
They’d never turn the other cheek
[Interlude] | F#m | % | % | % | | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# | % | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E | A A/G A/E | [Verse 3]
F#m              D6
Crash! And then again

        G
But the servants cleaning dormitories

Asus4
Can’t hear what we say

F#m              Bm
Crack! It’s only pain

      Em7
And important to be disciplined

     A
When war is on the way
[Bridge]
     F
They say ...

Bb      | Em7 | Asus4 A |
 We will obey
[Chorus]
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

        | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Our hideaway

        | Asus4   Asus4/G   Asus4/E   |
We would play the strangest games

        | A        A/G     A/E   |
That any boy might like to play

      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

             | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Both night and day

      | Asus4     Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
Candles flickered casting shadows

     | A        A/G       A/E   |
On the monsters and their prey
[Chorus]
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room

          | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
A boy could see

     | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
How survival of the  fittest

      | A         A/G    A/E   |
Meant destruction of the weak

      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the future

            | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
As time would tell

      | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
Running riot  under   orders

       | A     A/G    A/E   |
Would create a living hell
