Am7

G Just when the Bmlast of the smoke subsCides you'll see my fGingers

G Hoisting my Bmbody up atAm7op the charred debDris

G Who is that Bmcreature with the Emcrazed look in his Bmeyes?

CYou can be sure that's Dme

When all the Empretenders to your Ghand

lie Cdead across the Dland,

I'll be the Glast Bmman on eCarth D

Crawling aGround,D down on the gGround

G When the Hail BmMarys you've been Csaying lose their Gsavor

G Just when your Bmdungeon walls feel lAm7ike they're closing Din

G Whose are those Bmbloody knuckles Emreaching down to gBmrab you

C Just as the Glast of the light overhCead is growing dDim?

G Raising their Bmaxes, howling like Am7monkeys in the Dsun

G Who will that Bmguy be holding Emyou so high abBmove them?

C You know and IG know, everyone Cknows it, I'm the Done

I may have Emfailed you once befGore

But this rCight here, this means Dwar

I'll be the Glast Bmman on eCarth D

DAcross the Burnside Bridge Gbefore anyone Emshot their movies Gthere

DWe hid from the whipping rain when we had Grun out of coAcaine

DDispatch down to Plaid GPantry, two on Empoint and two on Gsentry

DAh, the joys that the lesser days bring make you Gthrow back your heads and Asing

GGod Abless Dall petty thieveGs with tins of oysters up their Asleeves

DFeast when you Gcan and DdreaAm when there's nothing to feast Don A D

Across a Ddifferent bridge toGday, over the Emriver and down BroadGway

DFeels so good to have you here, some of Gyou will be dead next Ayear

DI see your destinies Gabove you, like Emangels who don't Glove you

DLet them kiss you and hold you tight...Gas long as the money's rigAht

GGod Abless Dall my old Gfriends, and God bless me, too - why preAtend?

F#mGone past the pDoint where any blessings can Gdo them any Agood A5 A

Attach the DC4 where you Gmust, Emdisappear in a cloud of Gdust

DBut spare a thought for what it covers up, pour a Gtriple and raise your Acup

DWe were here once, me and my Gfriends, but we Emdestroyed all of the eviGdence

DAnd vanished into the night, at Gleast we got that one Aright

GGod bless us, all of Aus, we who Dlearn to shun the Glight

God bless all vampires every Anight

High Doses 2

Key: GMedium

GWe all woke up that morning

AmClaw marks on our liCttle faces

GThe dull thud from the trEmeetops

CThe echo in the hoD7llow places

CRose up high and loGnely

CWringing my hands, griGnding my teeth

EmAll the triumph overGhead

All the diCsasDter underneaGth

GSpat out my morning prayers

AmDesperate pleas and vicCious lies

GFelt the sunlight through the grEmating

CCovered up my eD7yes

CWoke up feeling awGful

CShook my head to drive the ghoGsts way

EmThis is just a fleshG wound

CAnd it will clear up any dDay

But the presCent i got planned for you priGcks

CIs gonna be a little haD7rder to fix

GThank god C

For small fGavorsC

In hGighD7 doGses

GHeard the voices through the air vents

AmListen to them squealC

GThe great big world is out thereEm

CThe hidden one beneath my hD7eel

CCalled up my sister in ResedaG

CLeft a message at the toneG

EmAll the points where contact faiGls us

All of the dCeadD spots in the zoGne

GAnd the acid in my throat

AmEvery time i tCry to talk

GThe songs that keep me up at nightEm

CStanding on that soD7lid rock

Rose up hCigh and dry and lonelyG

SCtumbled coming out the gate G

EmThis is just a papeGr cut

CAnd it will scab over juDst you wait

But the cCuts that i'll shortly being dealGing out

CAre gonna give you something to crD7y about

Spent Gladiator 2

Key: AmMedium

AmGAmG

AmLike a spent gladiator G

AmCrawling in the Colosseum dust G

AmWho can count on his remaining limbs G

AmAll the people he can trust

AmLike the one who stands behind him G

AmCheering him on G

AmEcstatic when he stands defiant G

AmWild with abandon when he's gone

Just stay alFive

AmKeep your eyes on the pGay line

AmAm

AmLike a village on the steppe G

AmAbout to get collectivized G

AmWhen the men emerge with rifles from the haystack G

AmEverybody looks surprised

AmLike the mice in the forgotten grain G

AmWay up on the top shelf G

AmLike someone who's found a small town to escape to G

AmKeeps one eye on his abandoned, former self

Stay in the gFame

AmJust try to play through the pGain

Like a figFhter who's been told it's finally tAmime for him to qGuit

Show Fup in shining colours

And then sAmtand there and get Ghit

FFAmAm

AmLike the clock that ticks in Dresden G

AmWhen the whole town's been destroyed G

AmLike the nagging flash of insight G

AmYou're always desperate to avoid

AmLike the bloody-knuckled gunman G

AmStill stationed at the breach G

AmLike that board game with the sliders G

AmAnd the children on the beach

Stay aFlive

AmMaybe spit blood at the caGmera

Just stay aAmlive

AmStay forever alGive
