Sleep Through The Static

Tempo: 4/4

 C9
Trouble travels fast
                                    Am
When you’re specially designed for crash testing
                                   Em
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
                                 F
Come on and tell us what you’re trying to prove

               C9
Because 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

     C9
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
        Am
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
           Em
Over conversations relationships are overrated
   F
“I hated everyone” said the sun

               C9
And so I will cook all your books

You’re too good looking and mistooken
Continues after the ad
          Am
You could watch it instead
                                 Em
From the comfort of your burning beds
                              F - G
…Or you can sleep through the static

 C9       G       Am
Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
 F        G       C9
Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
 C9        G       Am
Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
F         G        C9
Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
     C9           G              Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
         F           G                C9
We went beyond where we should have gone

 / C9  / Am / Em / F /
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
Waiting for things that never came

/ C9  / Am  / Em   / F /
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
And either you’re weak or you’ll use brut force-feed the truth
The truth is we say not as we do

/ C9  / Am  / Em  / F /
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
Of god wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
That’s no way to treat an enemy

/ C9  / Am   / Em  / F G /
Well mighty mighty appetite
we just eat 'em up and keep on driving
Freedom can be freezing take a picture from the pretty side
Mind your manners wave your banners
What a wonderful world that this angle can see

 C9       G       Am
Who needs sleep when we’ve got love?
 F        G       C9
Who needs keys when we’ve got clubs?
 C9        G       Am
Who needs please when we’ve got guns?
F         G        C9
Who needs peace when we’ve gone above
     C9           G              Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
         F           G                C9
We went beyond where we should have gone
     C9           G              Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
         F           G                C9
We went beyond where we should have gone
