G#m First I Esaw you standingB there, eyes so Fwild beneath your hair
G#m Coat worEn blacker than tBhe sun, shook yoFur head like Strummer strummed
G#m We stood like soEldiers in a Bline, heard the Fbells of midnight chime
G#m We turned grey wEalls to fields oBf green, the onlFy fate that we could scream
--Chorus pt1--
C#m Was while you'reE still youngB, find your Fheart and find your song
C#m Now where havEe you gone?F
--Chorus pt2--
No mG#matter where you're going, and no Fmatter where you've been,B you never needed anyEbody
else's call now

I never met a one like you, never met a one like you, never met a one like you, don't
bring me down
--verse 2--
G#m There's a Edream that haunts myB nights, of wild black Fhorses out in flight
G#m The kind of Efree I'd never bBeen, a kind of Fbeast I'd never seen
G#m Why do aEll things end in Bpain?, I call the Fghosts and ask their names
G#m Is that Elove you're running Bfrom?, if you lFead then I will come
--Chorus pt1--
C#m And while you'reE still youngB, find your Fheart and find your song
C#m Now where havEe you gone?F

AmThiEs GisD the story of two lovers like twins
They would do lovers things blame original sin
Look into their eyes only for the meaning of the hour
As if there only everything existed in their power, yet
Lo and behold they drifted of a stream humming
How does it go? Oh 'Life is but a dream'
Well the stream became a river and the river start to tow
They, they didn't notice at all
I love you like oAmil

AmAndE oGn Dthis black day the people shouted from the shore
Screaming, 'Stop gazing and swim to save us all!'
But the twins they didn't hear at all
They whispered nothings down the waterfall
And for what? Why did love become this void?
When the ones we love are the one we would destroy
Have you heard about the phrase says 'Ignorance is bliss'?
Well, what bliss could lead to this.
When I need you like waAter
You give me orAmder
It's getting hoAtter

AmEmGCAmEmGD
EmThis is a song that came uGpon me
one night
when the Amnews it had been telling me
about oCne more war and oDne more fight
and 'Emaeh' I sighed but then
I tGhought about my friends
then I wrAmote this declaration
just in cCase the woDrld end
Continue same pattern and chords till chorus
Our guns
we shot them in the things we said
ah we didn't need no bullets
cos the roadtrips that we launched
t-t-tripping across this island
starting missions at the break of dawn
yawn and smile say
'what direction shall we take?'
'Somewhere where it warm and wet'
this be the route we'd always take and....
AmOur weapons were our instruEmments
Gmade from tiD/Fmber and steCel
we never yieAmlded to conforEmmity
but stoGod like kings
in a chDariot that's riding on a
Drecord wheel
we rely on some AmwordEms inGsteCad Am Em G D
kill someone in argument
outwit them with our brains
and we'd kill ourselves laughing
at the funny things we'd say
ONNTTTSSS baby.
And bombs
we had them saved for special times
when the crew would call a shakedown
we break down a party landmine
women that so sexy
they explode us with their looks
ah we blowing up some speakers
jumping round till the ground shook
And missiles
they were
Return to verse chords
AEmnd ouGr aiAmrforcCe fDlying
when the frisbee in the sky
have a session while we're smoking
now we're feeling extra high
and we'd sneak into a carpark
with the skaties on our back
and we're flying down the levels howling
'on the attack now on the attack'
And battles
they happened in these dancehalls
see we'd rather fight with music
choosing one the rhythm war
battle at these shakedowns
and we battle at these gigs
we do battle in our bedrooms
made some sweet love to the beat
Then our allies grew
wherever we would roam
see whenever we're together
any stranger feel at home
in a way we are an army
but this army not destruct
no instead we're doing simple things
good loving find it run amuck
This be a declaration
written about my friends
it's engraved into this song
so they know I'm not forgetting them
see maybe if the world contained
more people like these
then the news would not be telling me
about all that warfare endlessly and
Our weapons were our instruments
made from timber and steel
we never yielded to conformity
but stood like kings
in a chariot that's riding on
a record wheel
enjoy

AmEver since I was 16
I Fmwished that spring would come to me
And I Fwished that I could dance upon the Gisles
Sweat Crivers on a stage of steam
I Amlet my thoughts begin to dream
I Fheld my breath and Gran into the Cwild
And Ameach night a horizon grew
In Fmall of us or just a few
Til Fmorning's gold would make it disapGpear
Yet Csomewhere in my treasured chest
Is Amnot forgot what must forget
But Fthat's a feeling Gfor another Cyear
And Ammovement has a way like words
You're Fmthere before the rhyme is heard
And Fall that one can do is shape the Gride
The Cmiles of a forgotten dream
Are Amyours my love it's where we've been
And mayFbe one day Gsoon we will arCrive
Playing Call Fnight Cloud
Playing all Fnight Cloud
Sing it Gall Amnight Fwith me
All Gnight Cloud
And Amwe went on a whirlwind trip
The Fmnights unwound the records flipped
And Fstillness came like chaos in the Glights
And Cvoices like devotion flew
AAmcross the sea from me to you
In Fmusic that I Gstill cannot Cdescribe
And Amthere were ugly times it's true
FmSome from me and some from you
And Fdevils have a way of digging Gdown
But a Cfriend is not a friend for life
UnAmless your life is worth the strife
SoF hold oGn we'll be alCright
Playing Call Fnight Cloud
Playing all Fnight Cloud
Sing it Gall Amnight Fwith me
All Gnight Cloud
AmThere's a speech that I know well
Was Fmtold by Henry V I'll tell
A Fversion that relates to us not Gwar
"CHe who sheds his sweat with me
Will Ambe my friend eternally
From this Fday to the Gending of the Cworld!"
No Ammatter if we're young or old
Or Fmin the sun or in the cold
I Fhope I can remember your bright Geyes
'Cos CI know you and you know me
At Amleast somehow mysteriously
So Fthank you my dear Gfriends and that's goodCnight
I'm much obliged
I'm much obAmliged
So Fthank you my dear Gfriends and that's goodCnight
