_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Crank that siren high, _ _
[C] _ _ Drain the wellspring dry,
Map out your [G] coordinates, _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Send out scouts by day, _ _
[C] _ Roll out mercenary pay, For [G] restless young subordinates,
_ _ _ _ It [C] never hurts to give thanks, To the local governors,
You never [G] know who might be hungry, _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] It never hurts to scan the windows,
On the upper [C#] floor, I _
[C] _ _ _ [D] saw a face there once before,
When I [Em] was young, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ Set the torch aflame, _ _
[C] _ _ Call the night binding, Stake out [G] your dark position, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Lie in wait, _ _
[C] _ By the gleaming city gate,
Try not to lose sight [G] of the mission, _ _ [C#] _ _ It [C] never hurts to give thanks,
To the broken bones, _ You had to use to [G] build your ladder,
_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ Moment close at hand, _ _
[C] Half of you will never understand,
_ And it [G] doesn't really matter, _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
[D] _ _ Big smile [A] on my face, _ _
[C] _ _ Capsule just in case, Underneath [G] my tongue,
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] Voices _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ [D] on the breeze, _ _
[C] _ I heard voices [D] once like _ these,
Once when [Em] I was young, _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ Blood washing to [Em] my _ face, _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ I know [Em] that sweet [Bm] born taste, [B] Ever been a trace,
[Em] _
_ [G] Storm right down that hill, _ _
[C] _ [G] If I don't [C] know one will,
Follow [G] me right through the chaos, _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ This whole house is doomed, _ _
[C] _ Even the good parts get consumed, Prepare a grave for [G] men on their heads,
_ _ _ _ It [C] never hurts to give thanks, To the navigator,
_ Even when he's sending out [G] random numbers, _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ I knew what those figures [Em] meant, _ _
_ [C] And what they hoped [D] to represent, When [Em] I was younger,
