[Em] with your bad dreams and your [C] fears
It was easy to [D7] see
you'd been [G] crying [D] [D7]
[G] Seems like [Bm] everywhere you turn
[Em] catastrophe it [C] reigns
But who really [D7] profits from
the [G] dying [D] [D7]

[G] [Bm] [Em] [D] [C] x2

[G] When you [Bm] kissed my lips
[Em] with my mouth so full of [C] questions
My worried [D7] mind that you[G] quiet [D] [D7]
[G] Place your [Bm] hands on my face
[Em] Close my [C] eyes and say
That love is a [D7] poor man's food,
Don't [G] prophesize [D] [D7]

[G] So now we [Bm] see how it is
[Em] This fist begets the [C] spear
Weapons of [D7] war
Symptoms of [G] madness [D] [D7]

[Em] Don't let your [C] ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't [D7] never going to shake
this sense of [G] sadness [D] [D7]
