[Am] I was just a boy when I sat down to watch the [D] news on TV.
[A] I saw some ordinary slaughter, I saw [D] some routine atrocity.
[Am] My father said, don't look away, you gotta be strong, [D] you gotta be bold now.
[Am] He said that in the end it is beauty that is gonna [D] save the world now.

[Am] You played the patriot, you raised the [D] flag, and I stood at [G] full [D] salute.
[Am] Well, later on we smoked a pipe that struck [D] me dumb and made it [G] impossible [D] to speak.
[Am] As you posed in slow motion, quoting [D] a cyborg from the [G] original [D] Greek.
[C] [G] And she moves among [D] the shadows, [G] [D]
