civil isolation Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Said the sceptic
Born and bred negative
No peace for the calm collect[G]ive[Am]
[Dm]There’s a cold war comin[Am]g in
[Dm]Go[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][Dm][F]
[G]Please let me

[Verse 2]
[Am]know when it’s gone
It’s really [G]not the best of times
And [Dm]all we've got is g[F]uided
by this light [Am]within
I’ll hold us both until the [G]smoke
[F]clears
We’re suffoc[C]ating
[Dm]Sick [Am]of our society

[Verse 3]
[G]
Sick of trying to fit in[Dm]side
a life I cannot [F]lead[G]
[Am]Sick of always following
[G]Sick of trying to be an[F]other
cog in their ma[C]chine
Sick [Am]of running on empty,
pushing [G]the blame
[Dm]Waiting for tomorrow to save [F]us
from [Am]today[G]
[F]There’s no profit [E]in pover[C]ty
And [F]I’m running on empty
I’m run[Dm]ning on empty
Run[E]ning myself [Am]into [Dm]the[Am]
[B5]ground.[C][Am]
[G][Dm][Am]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Said the sceptic
[F]Born and bred negative
[G]No peace for the cal[E]m
[Am]collective
There’s a [F]cold war coming [C]in
[Dm]Go
[E]I fee[Am]l the need It’s a darkness

[Verse 5]
[Am]
disease
In this dead town, light[E]s out
[Am]The creatures [E]come [Am]out
[E]in the [Am]streets
My ears are burning
In [E]this circle [Am]of eye[G]s
[Dm]Close the [E]curtain [Dm]and hide[E]
[F]the knife[E][F][G]
[Am]We’re stacking up
We’re piling high
We’ve gone too far to
recognise [Am]salvation.
This is civil isol[Am]ation[Dm]
[Am]The bitter truth of the world

[Verse 6]
is fucking sickening
[Am]
Tear my eyes on your [F]barbed wire facade
[Dm]Di v[Am]ides of colour
and small [C]talk[Am]
Medicate for patience
Dig up the graves [Bm]of our saviours
[Am]Civil isolation

[Verse 7]
It’s all gone right to my [Am]head
Wondering why we’re not all dead
It’s safe to say I’m not
alone in this
There’s[Dm]something [Am]deep within we miss.
[Dm]

[Interlude 2]
[F]
[Am][Dm][F][Am]

[Verse 8]
There’s a line in the sand
[Dm]that we won’t look past
A cure for the [Am]pain but it’s out of our grasp
If all we love [Dm]will leave us asking
Why do we deserve [Am]disaster?

[Verse 9]
Let me know
[Am]Please let me know when
it’s gone
It’s really not the best of [Dm]times
And all we've got is guided
[F]by this light within
[Am]I’ll hold us both un t[A]il[G]
the smoke [F]clears
[Dm]We’re suf[C]focat[Dm]ing
[Am]Sick of our society

[Verse 10]
[G]Sick of trying to fit insid[Dm]e
a life I cannot [F]lead[G]
[Am]Sick of always following
[G]Sick of trying to be an[F]other
cog in their ma[C]chine
Sick [Dm]of run[Am]ning on empty,
pushing [G]the blame
[Dm]Waiting for tomorrow [F]to save us from
[Am]today[G]
[F]There’s no [C]profit[F]
[Dm]in poverty
And I’m run[F]ning on empty
I’m run[G]ning on empty
Running [E]myself [Am]into [G]the ground.[Am]
