Swan Song

[Verse 1]

Am                       D/F#
What do you see with the eyes in your head?
C                    B7
Pitiful struggle, or are you content?
Am                 C                 D                          E
Fear and anger so garishly clothed, resignation and ignorance tied up in bows
Am                     C
A king to a pauper, a sad wizened clown
D                       E
A joke an a punchline, people all round
Am                      C
Rose-tinted glasses and no-one is sane
D                         E
A big waltzing blindfold, we are what we play
Am                       Am7
We are what we play, and nothing is sane

[Verse 2]

Am                       D/F#
What can he hear with his ears in his hands?
C                         B7
Her silently weeping, his head in the sand
Am                 C                 D                            E
Patiently lurking in water in wine, he'll drown by her tears, or choke on his time
Am                            C
For what we've forsaken and taken too soon
D                                  E
Before murdering old mother, we'd dance on the moon
Am                    C                         D                             E
Deaf to the thunder that silently cracks, we're holding our breath until her collapse

[Verse 3]

Am                         D/F#
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
      C                     B7
Some few thousand years, could soon come to rest
    Am                       C
Do you feel the butcher? The bullet that bores
D                          E
With corkscrewing chaos and mighty a roar

Am                        D/F#
What do you feel with your heart in your chest?
      C                        B7
Some few thousand years could soon come to rest
       Am                        C
On the shoulders of man and his bag full of bombs
    D                         E
Bell tolling destruction our final swan song
