Tom: G
C G D Em
C G D Am
[Verse]
Em
The time has come for real life
C G
To kick you in the teeth
C G
With the fury of a million bombs
D C
On gridlock underneath
Em
The words that warn are left to chance
C G
Drifting in the breeze
C G
With a mess of dinosaur bones
D C
From faceless factories
[Chorus]
Am Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G
Keep the ocean from rising up and
D
Washing away the shore
Em G
Keep the sun from bearing down upon
D C
The heads of the idle poor
C G D Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G D Am
Your flag won’t save you anymore
[Verse]
Em
The time has come for a wake up call
C G
But you’re addicted to the dream
C G
Of convenience - right and wrong
D C
And a full blown enemy
Em
Down on four and dead to rights
C G
No hero in the wings
C G
No electric starring role
D C
In the modern sport of kings
[Chorus]
Am Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G
Keep the baying mob from rioting
D
On the winding road to war
Em G
Keep the blood from raining down upon
D C
The heads of the riled poor
C G D Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G D D/Eb
Your flag won’t save you anymore
[Instrumental]
Em C G D D/Eb
Em C G D D/Eb
[Verse]
Em
The time has gone to make it right
C G
The fallout and the tears
C G
There’s a reckoning coming on
D C
With blood stained souvenirs
[Chorus]
Am Em
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G
Keep the plutocrats from lining up
D
To harvest away the core
Em G
Of a world hell bent on going out
D C
With a whimper - not a roar
C G D Am
Your flag won’t save you anymore
C G D
Your flag won’t save you anymore
[Outro]
Em C G D D/Eb
Em C G D D/Eb
