Battlelines

tom:

A        Bm7        D    E
On battlelines they fire bullets
    A       Bm7  D        E
And I don’t know why they do it
      A       Bm7 D        E         A      Asus4   A
Cause I can’t see what has ever been gained
A          Bm7        D        E
It seem to me through all this fighting
     A       Bm7        D         E
That more’s achieved by words and writing
     A   Bm7    D             E         F#m
Than any bullet fired through war or in rage


[Chorus 1]
D               A               E/G#
So what if we believed it’s all magical
Bm              A              E/G#
If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall
Bm                 F#m           E        Bm
We would all stand back and just laugh at war


[Verse 2]
A      Bm7          D       E
I understand though I don’t like it
     A       Bm7      D         E
That we were made and built for fighting
    A        Bm7       D         E        F#m
But can’t we put those tanks and bullets away


[Chorus 2]
D               A               E/G#
So what if we believed it’s all magical
Bm              A              E/G#
If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall
Bm                 F#m           E        Bm
We would all stand back and just laugh at war


[Bridge]
A Bm7 D E (x3)
F#m


[Chorus 3]
D               A               E/G#
So what if we believed it’s all magical
Bm              A              E/G#
If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall
Bm                 F#m           E        Bm
We would all stand back and just laugh at war


[Verse 3]
A         Bm7       D         E
For if we need to express our anger
      A      Bm7          D           E
Well, we can shout but to talk’s much better
     A      Bm7    D        E        F#m
Than taking all control and blowing away


[Chorus 4]
D               A               E/G#
So what if we believed it’s all magical
Bm              A              E/G#
If it was up to me – watch the mighty fall
Bm                 F#m           E        Bm
We would all stand back and just laugh at war


[Outro]
A        Bm7        D    E
On battlelines they fire bullets
A        Bm7        D    E
On battlelines they fire bullets

A Bm7 D E
