[Verse 1]
Em
We met on the beach amid rumours of war
C                                              G   Gsus4 G
Your head in your hand, what you saw you won't say
G                             D   Dsus4 D
As the newspapers flew in the wind


[Verse 2]
Em
I can see you're one of that kind
C                                                  G    Gsus4 G
Who carry around a time bomb in their mind, no one knows
G                    D  Dsus4 D
When you'll slip the pin


[Chorus]
D          Am              Em
Rumours of war, rumours of war

[Verse 3]
Em
I see that your dress is torn at the edge
C                                                        G   Gsus4 G
You were lost intense, like a man on a ledge, waiting to jump
G                           D    Dsus4 D
As the waves break over the shore


[Verse 4]
Em
You say there's a storm that can't be delayed
C                                                          G    Gsus4 G
And lately it seems to be comin' this way, you can hear it break
G                  D   Dsus4 D
Like the slam of a door


[Chorus]
D          Am              Em
Rumours of war, rumours of war

[Verse 5]
Em
You tell me, just look all around
C
At the past and the present, the cross and the crescent
G                         Gsus4 G              D   Dsus4 D
The signs and the planets are lining up like before


[Verse 6]
Em
There are souls on fire in the day and the night
C
On the left and the right, in the black and the white
G                   Gsus4  G                        D   Dsus4 D
You can see it burn in the eyes of the rich and the poor


[Chorus]
D          Am              Em
Rumours of war, rumours of war


[Break]

[Chorus]
