War On Drugs

G    C   D

[Verse 1]
G                           C
She likes to sleep with the radio on
D                       G
So she can dream of her favorite song
Em                      C               D
The one that no one has ever sung since she was small

G                          C
She'll never know that she made it up
D                     G
She had a soul and we ate it up
Em                 C              D
Thrown away like a paper cup, the music falls

G                    C
The only flaw in her detailed plan
D                          G
Is where she wins back the love of her man
Em                       C            D
Everyone knows that he's never coming back

G                         C
He took her heart and she took his name
D                        G
He couldn't stand taking all the blame
Em                    C                   D
He left her only with guilt and shame and then she cracked

[Chorus]
Em          C            D
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
   G                Em
Of all these demons haunting us
   C              D
To keep us company?

[Verse 2]
G                C
In the dream I refuse to have
D                     G
She falls asleep in a lukewarm bath
Em                          C         D
We're left to deal with the aftermath again

G              C
On behalf of humanity
D                     G
I will fight for your sanity
Em                   C          D
How profound such profanity can be

[Chorus]
Em          C            D
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
   G                Em
Of all these demons haunting us
   C              D
To keep us company?
Em          C         D
Won't it be odd to be happy like we
G                    Em
Always thought we're supposed to feel
    C               D
But never seem to be?

[Verse 3]
G                           C
Near where I live there's a viaduct
D                              G
Where people jump when they're out of luck
Em                           C        D
Raining down on the cars and trucks below

G                          C
They've put a net there to catch their fall
D                  G
Like it'll stop anyone at all
Em                           C                 D
What they don't know is when nature calls, you go

G                       C
They say that Jesus and mental health
D                          G
Are just for those who can help themselves
Em                             C               D
But what good is that when you live in hell on earth?

[Bridge]
G                       G*
From the very fear that makes you want to die
D                              G*
Is just the same as what keeps you alive
Em                              C          D
It's way more trouble than some suicide is worth

[Chorus]
Em          C            D
Won't it be dull when we rid ourselves
   G                Em
Of all these demons haunting us
   C              D
To keep us company?
Em          C         D
Won't it be odd to be happy like we
G                    Em
Always thought we're supposed to feel
    C               D
But never seem to be?

[Verse 4]
G                          C
Hard to admit I fought the war on drugs
D                          G
My hands were tied and the phone was bugged
Em                   C                      D
Another died and the world just shrugged it off
