Sleep Through The Static

Tempo: 4/4

 C9
Trouble travels fast
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

               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
Continúa después del anuncio
          Am
You could watch it instead
From the comfort of your burning 
Em
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           
But beyond where we should have 
   Am
gone?
         F           G            
We went beyond where we should 
    C9
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           
But beyond where we should have 
   Am
gone?
         F           G            
We went beyond where we should 
    C9
have gone
     C9           G           
But beyond where we should have 
   Am
gone?
         F           G            
We went beyond where we should 
    C9
have gone
