Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]If the strain proves too much[Dm]
Give up right [Am]away
If the light hurts [Dm]your eye[Dsus2]s[Dm]
Stay in [Am]your room all day

[Verse 2]
[Am]
When the room fills [C]with smoke
Lie down on [G]the floor
In the [Dm]declining years
Of the long war
[Am]

[Verse 3]
Well the blood's in the water
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
And the shark's [Dm]gonna [Am]come
And we swim in [Dm]the dark[Am][Dm]
[Am]Until our bodies are numb

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Blind desert [C]rats in the moonlight
Too far from [G]shore
In the [Dm]declining years

[Interlude 1]
Of the long war
[Am][Em][G][Am]
[Em]
[G][Am][Em][G][Am]
[Em][G][Am]
Empty room with [Dm]a

[Verse 5]
lightbulb
Where the phone starts [Am]to ring
Everybody gets nervous
[Dm][Am][Dm][Am]
[Dm]Nobody says any[Am]thing

[Verse 6]
The next day someone's ini[C]tials
Show up on the [G]door
I think I'm gonna [Dm]crack
Can't live like this any[Am]more

[Verse 7]
[Am]
Ugly things [C]in the darkness
Worse things [G]in store
In the [D]declin[Dm]ing y[Am]ears
Of the [C]long [Dm]war

[Outro 1]
[Am][Em][G]
[Am][Em][G][Am][Em]
