[Intro] - Accordion -
C *, Am *, Em *, F


C *
Trouble travels fast
C *                                
When you're specially designed for 
 Am *
crash testing
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the 
Em *
afternoon
Come on and tell us what you're 
F
trying to prove
           C *
Cuz it's a battle when you dabble in
 war
                      Am *
You store it up, unleash it, then 
you piece it together
                     Em *
Whether the storm drain running 
rampant just stamp it
                   F
And send it to somebody who's 
pretending to care

     C *
Just cash in your blanks for little 
toy tanks
Continues after the ad
             Am *
Learn how to use them, then abuse 
them and choose them
            Em *
Over conver-sations relationships 
are overrated
   F
"I hated everyone" said the sun

          C *
So I will cook all your books
                C *
You're too good looking and 
mistooken
          Am *
You could watch it instead
From the comfort of your burning 
    Em *
beds
                                F  
…Or you can sleep through the 
  /G *
static

C         G          Am
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
F         G         C
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
C         G           Am
Who needs please when we've got 
guns?
F         G          C
Who needs peace when we've gone 
above
    C      G                    
But beyond where we should have 
Am
gone?
        F      G                  
We went beyond where we should 
  C
have gone
 C *
Stuck between channels my thoughts 
all quit
               Am *
I thought about them too much, 
allowed them to touch
      Em *
The feelings that rained down on the
 plains all dried and cracked
       F
Waiting for things that never came
 C *
Shock and awful thing to make 
somebody think
         Am *
That they have to choose pushing for
 peace supporting the troops
    Em *
And either you're weak or you'll use
 brute force feed
      F
The truth is we say not as we do
  C *
We say anytime, anywhere, just show 
your teeth and strike the fear
      Am *
Of God wears camouflage, cries at 
night and drives a dodge
 Em *
Pick up the beat and stop hogging 
the feast
 F
That's no way to treat an enemy

 C *
Well mighty mighty appetite
 C *
We just eat 'em up and keep on 
driving
 Am *
Freedom can be freezin' take a 
picture from the pretty side
 Em *
Mind your manners wave your banners
 F
What a wonderful world that this 
angle can see

C         G          Am
But who needs to see what we've 
done?
F         G         C
Who needs please when we've got 
guns?
C         G          Am
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
F         G         C
Who needs peace when we've gone 
above
C         G          Am
But beyond where we should have 
gone?
F         G         C
Beyond where we should have gone
C         G          Am
We went beyond where we should have 
gone
F         G         C
Beyond where we should have gone
