G D
The yellow sun
Em Em
Well, it took the hand
D Dsus2
Of a country boy
C C
To a city in a far-off land
G D
We made no mark
Em Em
No shadow at all
D Dsus2
On the ancient, holy streets
C C
Where I learned to crawl
[CODA]
A G C F
The broke and the bruised
C
The young and the used
G
The sure and confused
Em
All here
A
Words will land on me
A/D
Then abandon me
F#m E
Mangle, untangle me
D
Leave me on the floor
A
Rhymes, they sprang in me
A/D
Summer sang in me
F#m E Bm7
But summer sings in me no more
G D
Now I'm twenty-five
Em Em
And trying to stay alive
D Dsus2
In a corner of the world
C C
With no clear enemies to fight
G D
It's hot as hell
Em Em
We're like butter on toast
D Dsus2
But there's no army in this world
C C
That can fight a ghost
[CODA]
A G C F
The broke and the bruised
C
The young and the used

The sure and confused

All here

Words will land on me
A/D
Then abandon me
F#m E
Mangle, untangle me
D
Leave me on the floor
A
Rhymes, they sprang in me
A/D
Summer sang in me
F#m E Bm7
But summer sings in me no more

D7sus2
Listening to the cries
Em7
Exchangings
Fmaj7
The silence in the foreign ground
D7sus2
Listening to the thunder
Em
The sky is strange
G
Stretched over everyone
D7sus2
Listening to the tanks
Em
The shots come
Fmaj7
The noise from dusk till dawn
D7sus2
Listening to the calls
Em7 A
Shouts, frustration
G D
At twenty-one
Em Em
I was born a son
D Dsus2
And on that day I knew
C C
I could kill
G D
To protect the ones
Em Em
We put bullets in guns
D Dsus2
Or anything it takes
C C
To take a life until it's still
G D Em Em
D Dsus2 C C
