Modern Misery Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite killing its host
The emperor wears no clothes,
I see those brittle bones
But we're buried by modern misery

[Verse 2]
Modern misery
[Em]
There's [D]not enough [C]water in the world
[B]To wash the blood from our han[Em]ds
We planted a seed,
its [C]roots [Em]will suffocate the soul
[C]It gro[Em]ws without light and feed
[D]s from our b[Em]ones[C]
[Em]Hell must be empty,
[D]all the devils [C]are here
[Em]Sing[C]ing us t[Em]he Lord's[C] Prayer[Em]; finally,[D]
[C]something [B]that [Em]we all share

[Verse 3]
I won't [Em]go to the gr[D]ave with
the song still in [C]me

[Verse 4]
What are we [C]hiding in [D]the rain?
This is a prison for [Em]lost souls
Another [D]life [G]circles the [D]drain
We used to run with the [Em]wolves[C]
Now we can't see the [D]forest
'Cause there's no light in
the [Em]black hole
Don't try and [D]tell me [G]we are [D]blessed
We used to run with the [Em]wolves[C]
[Em]Are these our

[Verse 5]
new messiah[D]s?
[Em]'Cau[C]se t[Em]he saviour
has a gun to my head
[C]Don't be [Em]fooled by [D]Maya,
[Em]the kings are [D]all [Em]thieves
[C]And the ser[Em]pents will bite as they [D]please
[C]How has [B]it [Em]come [C]to this?

[Verse 6]
I won't [C]go to the [D]grave with
the song still in [Em]me
And I won't live like a [D]slave
begging from my [C]knees

[Verse 7]
What are we [C]hiding in [D]the rain?
This is a prison for [Em]lost souls
Another [D]life [G]circles the [D]drain
We used to run with the [C]wolves
Now we can't see the [D]forest
'Cause there's no light in
the [Em]black hole
Don't try and [D]tell me [G]we are [D]blessed
We used to run with the wolves
[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 8]
Seven billion hungry ghosts
Just a parasite [D]killing [Em]its host
The emperor wears no clothes,
I see those brittle bones
But we're [D]buried [Em]by modern
[D]mis[Em]ery
Modern misery
I won't live like a slave,
I won't beg from my knees
I will not go to [D]the grave with
the song [C]still in me

[Verse 9]

We used to run with [C]the wolves
[D]We used to run with the
[Em]wolves[D][G]
[D]We used to run with the wolves
