[B] [F#]
I was having a dream with Charles and the Queen
When [B] [F#]
[B] [F#] Winston Churchill stepped into my dream
[B] [F#]
His head it was heavy, his voice was shaking
[C#] [B] He [F#]
said, look what they've done, it's the death of the nation
[B] [F#]
I followed his shadow right out of the bar
[B] [F#]
And we talked all night, near the light of the stars
[B] [F#]
He said, this used to be a cradle of civilization
[B] And [F#]
now look what they've done, it's the death of the nation
[B] [F#]
Everything's illusion now, nothing's what it seems
Money isn't [B] everything, [F#] when you're turning [G#m] your back on a dream
[F#] I held you together when you were breaking
[B] [F#]
And you can pull down the flags, it's the death of the nation
[B] [F#]
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[B] [F#]
And we'll never die, no we'll never die
[B] [F#]
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[B] [F#] And we'll never die, no we will never die
[B] [F#]
[B] [F#]
[B] [F#]
[B] [F#]
[C#] [F#]
[Bm] From the bottom of this [F#] ancient heart
I hate to see you [G#m] falling apart
Cause I love you still, [G#] I love you still, I love you still
[F#] You've been getting away with it far too [C#] long
[B] [F#]
And promises ain't worth the paper they're printed on
[B] [F#]
I had a love, but that love's been forsaken
[B] [F#]
And look what they've done, it's the death of the nation
And don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[B] [F#]
And we'll never die, no we'll never die
[B] [F#]
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[C#] [B] [F#]
And we'll never die, no we will never die
[B] Don't [F#]
say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[B] [F#]
And we'll never die, no we'll never die
[B] [F#]
Don't say goodbye, don't say goodbye
[B] [F#]
And we'll never die, no we will never die
[G#m] [F#]
[B] [F#]
now you are all dead
[B] [F#]
[B]
sad [F#] dies
