        D                          C                  G/B
All the stories we've been told of kings and days of old

 All the wars that were won and lost

 All the lives of the people running round, their castles have burned

Now I see change but inside we're the same as we ever were

Living on a thin line, living this way, each day's a dream

What am I, what are we supposed to do?

D                     C  G/B  G                          D

  What are we gonna leave for the young?

        C                       G/B                 D
What we couldn't do, or what we wouldn't do, it's a crime, but does it matter?

        C                    G/B
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?

        D
Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really really matters!

  Then another leader says, break their hearts and break some heads

                        Em  F
Is there nothing we can say or do?

Am                            G                        C
   Blame the future on the past, always lost in bloody guts

                     D
And when they're gone it's me and you
[Chorus]
