Em
One is for envy and one just for spite
C
The country in my heart, they show me new lies
G
It don?t make it better
                          D
Twisting lies through the station on to someone else
Em
Stop the operation, we'll leave this behind
C
We'll treat the error bearing on your mind
G
It won?t make it better chucking it out
         D           G
It never mattered anyway...

                    D
If we don't make it alive
                             Em
It's a hell of a good day to die.
                     C
Our life, half truism
                       G
Only lasts for so long.
                        D
And it's ashes to ashes again
                         Em
Should we even try to pretend?
                     C
Our life, half truism
                      G
Only lasts for so long.

Em
Whatever you're waking is burning away
C                                              G
Lock it in, it's alright, and try and go ahead against the world,
                                D
Diamonds and dust are seeming stranger
 
Watch the scene revert
Em
Our generation will leave this behind
C
It sees the error bearing on your mind
G
It won?t make it better
                            D     
Broken or blessed, it never mattered anyway...

G                        D
If we don't make it alive
                             Em
It's a hell of a good day to die.
                     C
Our life, half truism
                   G
Only lasts for so long.
                          D
Well it's ashes to ashes again
                         Em
Should we even try to pretend?
                     C
Our life, half truism
                       G
Only lasts for so long.

Em
While you are waiting
C
Burning away
G
Against the world
Talking to p...
         D                               G
It never mattered, mattered, mattered anyway...

                     D
If we don't make it alive
                             Em
It's a hell of a good day to die.
                     C
Our life, half truism
                       G
Only lasts for so long.
                         D
And it's ashes to ashes again
                         Em
Should we even try to pretend?
                     C
Our life, half truism
                      G
Only lasts for so long. 
Em                    C
Our life, half truism
                      G
Only lasts for so long!
