E            A                B  
What do these marching orders 
 E              A            B   
mean? Some halflit fairy tale I 
            E
move bout their dreams
               A   B        E       
      A         B           E   (E,

Let’s put this countdown clock 
B   E             A

 A            B            E     (E,
 A, B)x2
Let them rust. Turn to dust, what

F#m   B

(E, A, B)x2

E            A                B  
What do these marching orders 
 E              A

the voice wrecked, don’t connect, 
what the fuse was there to protect.
