When The God Of Love Returns

D
When the god of love returns
There'll be hell to pay
                     Bm         D
Though the world may be out of excuses
I know just what I would say
               G        D
Let the seven trumpets sound
             G          D
As a locust sky grows dark
                Bm            D                       Bm      D
But first let's take you on a quick tour of your creation's handiwork

                          D
Barely got through the prisons and stores
                    G              D
And the pale horse looks a little sick
                          Bm
Says, "Jesus, you didn't leave a whole lot for me
          D                     Em                D
If this isn't hell already then tell me what the hell is?"

            F#         Bm    Am
And we say it's just human, human nature
G                         Bm
This place is savage and unjust
F#m
We crawled out of the darkness
D     Am
And endured your impatience
G                        G   Bm
We're more than willing to adjust
                        G            D  A D Am
And now you've got the gall to judge us

A           G        D
The spider spins his web
           D
The tiger stalks his prey
              Bm           D                        G   Bm      D
And we steal fire from the heavens to try to keep the night at bay
               G      D
Every monster has a code
                       D
One that steadies the shaking hand
          Bm                        D
And he's determined to accrue more capital by whatever means he can

     F#               Am
Oh, it's just human, human nature
G                              Bm
We've got these appetites to serve
F#                                Am
You must not know the first thing about human beings
G                        Am     G         Bm
We're the earth's most soulful predator
Bm                     G#m                         D      Am
Try something less ambitious the next time you get bored

Am
Oh, my Lord
              D
We just want light in the dark
        G          D
Some warmth in the cold
             Bm               D                   G               D
And to make something out of nothing sounds like someone else I know
