or think of it as, 2 downward strums
 per beat, 7 beats on C, 1 beat on 
Bm, 7 on F
and then 1 beat on Dm etc.

Verse 1
C                   Am           
My belief is that we fight and we 
Dm
bleed,
          Am           Dm
And never find what we need to carry
 on
C                       Am       
And my belief is that we lie in 
    Dm
the dirt,
              Am             Dm   
And can't get rid of all this hurt
            C
 and carry on

Chorus
Em                G
Not a squadron of tanks,
G                              C
Or soldiers of different ranks could
 save us!

Em               G
Not a fleet of policemen or,
G                                 
faith or religion could give me 
                       C
the guts to talk to you again

Verse 2
C                 Am         
why don't you stop wasting your 
    Dm
time,
                  Am             
because I've been wasting my time 
   Dm
for far too long.
C                   Am           
and when you realize what you 
    Dm
have done,
           Am                   Dm
I hope you come and find me and 
                C
say that you were wrong

Chorus
Em                G
Not a squadron of tanks,
G                              C

 save us!

Not a fleet of policemen or,
G                                 
faith or religion could give me 
                       C
the guts to talk to you again
