[Intro 1]
[C]
[F][Csus4][C][F][C][Csus4][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]The sun
came up with [G]no [Csus4]conclu si[C]ons
Flowers sleeping in their beds
The city's cemeter[Csus4]ies hummi[C]ng

[Verse 2]
I'm wide awake, it's morning
[C]
I have my drugs,
I have [Csus4]my woman[C]
They keep away my loneliness
My parents they have their religion
But sleep in separate houses

[Verse 3]
[C]I r[E]ead the body count out of the pap[Am]er
And [F]now its written [G]all over my [C]face
No one [E]ever plans to sleep out
in [Am]the gutter
Some[F]times that's just the most
[G]comfortable place
[C]

[Verse 4]
So I'm drinking, breathing,
writing, singing
Everyday I'm on the clock
My mind races with all my longings

[Verse 5]
But can't keep up with what I got
[C]
So I hope I don't sound too
ungrateful
What history gave modern man
A telephone to talk to strangers
Machine guns and a camera lens

[Verse 6]
So when you're [E]asked to fight
a war that's over [Am]nothing
It's [F]best to join the side
[G]that's gonna win[C]
[E]And no one knows how
all of this star[Am]ted
But we're gonna [F]make them certain
[G]how it's gonna [C]end

[Interlude 1]
Oh yeah we will
[C][F][C][F]
[C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 7]
Well I could have [C]been a famous singer
If I had someone else's voice
But failure's always sounded better
Let's fuck it up boys,

[Interlude 2]
make some noise
[C][C][C]

[Verse 8]
[C]The sun came up [F]with no
conclusion[C]s
Flowers sleep[F]ing [C]in their [D]beds
[C]The city's [C]cemeteries [F]hum[C]ming
I'm wide [C]awake, [F]it's [C]morning
