[C#m]
Is there any hope for us?
Or are the rumors [B] true?
[A] Are we just the Mochan kinlin at a [F#] cruise?
[G#]
Can we recover from [C#] this?
[A]
[C#] [A] I've [C#] seen the questions and their [F#] promised [C#] doors
[F#m] I've felt [C#] requestion, warped in them, to these jaws
[A] This is not a celebration, [B] a slip of loose, some [A] crap
This is wrath and [B] devastation, and we're the roots of [E] the [G#]
[C#m] trash
[E] Get on your fingers [A] tonight
[C#m] [E] [A]
[C#m] Covered [B] in [A] blood, you cry, in the [B] rain, you smoke, smoking
This blood [A] is your life
[C#] Recover, recover, recover, can we recover?
[B] [G#]
[E] Yeah, [C#] [A]
[C#] [A] [A#]
[B] [C] the [C#m] time's coming, it's [E] now, we're [A] gonna blaze
[C#] Why do you fall out when there's no one [B] left alive?
When there's things [A] that are shared in your [E] face?
This is [C#m] a fucking [B] slammer
I
[A] [E] will slap [C#m] you [B]
[A] with [E] my hands
I'll let you [C#m] live on your [B] show
[A] [E] You're the [C#m] greatest, we're [B] the most, we're finally [A] in this [C#m] room
Get [E] on your [A] fingers
[C#m] [E] [A] tonight
And believe what you find, and [C#m] don't [A] forget what we find
[C#] Recover, recover, recover, can we recover?
[B]
[A#] [B] [C] [C#]
[D] [E] [N] I'm
[F#] [E]
[B] sorry, [C#m] there was [B] no way [A] to your right
[E] They fought and fought, [B] and our bullets ran out
[C#m] And they [B] took us one [A] by one
[E] Dear mother, [B] I'm sorry, [C#m] we have just [B] barely [A] begun
[E] This will be [B] the last letter from the [C#m] rolling [B] sun
From the [A] rolling sun
[C#m] Yeah, [B] to [A] the [C#m] flame
Recover, recover, recover, can we recover?
