EmDocumentaries on refugees
ACouples 'gainst the target
CYou throw a rock aGgainst the road
And it Abreaks into pieces
EmDraw the blinds on yesterday,
And it's Aall so much scarier
CPut a bullet Gin my brain,
And it Amakes all the papers

Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
CShinbun wa kaki Atateru
DSo where's the moral
Amwhen people have their fingers broken
GTo be insulted by these fascists

She had an horror of rooms; she wasD tired; you can't hideE beat
When I looked in her eyes they were Dblue but nobody Ehome
She could've been a killer if she Ddidn't walk the way she Edo, and she do
She opened strange doors that Dwe'd never close aEgain
She began to wail Djealousies scream
CWaiting at the light, Gknow what I Dmean?
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared
EShe asked me to Dstay and I stole her Eroom
She asked for my love and I Dgave her a dangerous Emind
Now she's stupid in the street and she Dcan't socialiseE
Well I love the little girl and I'll Dlove her till the day she Edies
She wails
Jimmy's guitar sound, Djealousies scream
CWaiting at the light, Gknow what I Dmean?
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared
DScary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, Crunning scared

Do you remember a guy that's been
EmIn such an early song
CI've heard a rumour from Ground Control
DOh no, don't say it's true
FThey got a message from the Action Man
C"I'm happy. EmHope you're happy, too.
FI've loved. All I've needed: love.
GSordid deG7tails following."
AThe shrieking of nothing is killing me
Just Epictures of Jap girls in synthesis
And I Gain't got no money and I ain't got no hairD
FBut I'm hoping to kick but the planet is Cglowing
(glowing, glowing, glowing, Emglowing)
FAshes to ashes, G7funk to funky
CWe know Major A7Tom's a junkie
FStrung out in heaven's G7high
Hitting an Amall-time Glow

Time and again I tell myself
EmI'll stay clean tonight
CBut the little green wheels are following Dme
Oh, no, not again
FI'm stuck with a valuable friend
C"I'm happy. EmHope you're happy, too."
FOne flash of light, Gbut no smoking pisG7tol
AI've never done good things
EI've never done bad things
GI never did anything out of the Dblue,
FWant an axe to break the ice
CWanna come down right nowEm
FAshes to ashes, G7funk to funky
CWe know Major A7Tom's a junkie
FStrung out in heaven's G7high
Hitting an Amall-time Glow

G# C#
G# C#
G# C#
Well, G#how come you only want toC#morrow
With its G#promise of something hard to C#do
A G#real life adventure worth more than D#pieces of gold
F#Blue skies above and sun on your arms C#strength in your stride
And G#hope in those squeaky D#clean eyes
You'll get F#chilly receptions everywhere you go
C#Blinded with deG#sire - guess the D#season is on
G# C# G# C#
So you G#train by the shadow boxing, search for the C#truth
But it's all, but it's all used up
Break G#open your million dollar weapon
And push your C#luck, still you push, still you push your luck
A G#broken-nosed mogul are you
One of the D#new wave boys
F#Same old thing in brand new drag
C#Comes sweeping into G#view, oh-D#ooh
As F#ugly as a teenage millionaire
PreC#tending it's a whizz kid G#world
You'll take me aD#side, and say
"Well, C#David, what shall I Fmdo?
They Bbmwait for me in the G#hallway"
I'll say "C#Don't ask Fmme; I don't Bbmknow any G#hallways"
But they C#move in Fmnumbers and they've Bbmgot me in a G#corner
I D#feel like a group of one, no-no
They C#can't do this to me
I'm not some piece of teenage G#wildlife
C# G# C#
G# D#
F# C# G# D#
FmThose midwives to history C#put on their bloody robesD#
The Fmword is that the hunted one is C#out there on his ownD#
You're F#alone for D#maybe the F#last time
And you D#breathe for a F#long time
Then you D#howl like a F#wolf in a trap
And you G#daren't look behind
You Fmfall to the ground like a D#leaf from the tree
And look up one time at the C#vast blue sky
Scream out aloud as they Fmshoot you down
D#No no, I'm C#not a piece of teenage G#wildlifeC#
I'm not a piece of teenage G#wildlife
C# Fm C# D#
F# C# D#
And C#no one will have Fmseen and Bbmno on will conG#fess
The C#fingerprints will Fmprove that you Bbmcouldn't pass the G#test
C#There'll be others Fmon the line Bbmfiling past, who'll G#whisper low
I D#miss you he really had to go
Well C#each to his own, he was
Another piece of teenage G#wildlife, 0h-0h-0h-C#ohh
Another piece of teenage G#wildlife, 0h-oh-oh-C#ohh
Another piece of teenage G#wild....

7. SCREAM LIKE A BABY
(3rd Fret Capo)
Cm
Well I wouldn't buy no Gmerchandise
And I wouldn't go to war
And I mixed with other Cmcolours
But the nurse doesn't care
And I hide under Gblankets
Or did I run away
I really can't reCmmember
Last time I saw the light of day
But G#I remember GSam
'cause he was like Fme
D# C# G# A#
D#Scream like a A#baby
D#Sam was a Dmgun
And AmI never knew his A#last name
And C#we never had no D#funF
Cm
Well they came down Ghard on the f******
And they came down hard on the street
They came down Cmharder on Sam
And they all knew he was beat
He was thrown into the Gwagon
Blindfolded, chains, and they stomped on us
And took away our Cmclothes and things
And pumped us full of strange drugs
And oh I saw Sam Gfalling
Spitting in their eyes
But now I lay me Cmdown to sleep
And now I close my eyes
G#Now I'm learning to Gbe
a part of Fsociety
D# C# G# A#
D#Scream like a A#baby
D#Sam was a Dmgun
And AmI never knew his A#last name
And C#we never had no D#fun F
No D#athletic Dprogram,
no C#discipline, Cno book
He Bjust sat in the A#backseat
Aswearing he'd G#seek revenge
But Ghe jumped into the F#furnace
FSinging old Esongs we loved
D#Scream like a A#baby
D#Sam was a Dmgun
And AmI never knew his A#last name
And C#we never had no D#fun F
AScream like a Ebaby
ASam was a G#mgun
And D#mI never knew his Elast name
And F#we never had no Afun C
8. KINGDOM COME
E
Well, I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
C#mThe voice of doom
BWas shining in my room
G#mI just need one F#day
G#mSomewhere far F#away
G#mLord I just need one F#day
(Well, I'll be breaking these Brocks)
Well, I'll be breaking these Erocks
(And cutting this Bhay)
And cutting this Ehay
(Yes, I'll be breaking these Brocks)
Yes, I'll be breaking these Erocks
(What's my price to Bpay?)
What's my price to Epay?
Well the river's so muddy,
but it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
C#mI'm just the slave Bof a burning ray
G#mOh give me the F#night
G#mI can't take another F#sight
G#mPlease, please give me the F#night
(Well, I'll be breaking these Brocks)
Well, I'll be breaking these Erocks
(And cutting this Bhay)
And cutting this Ehay
(Yes, I'll be breaking these Brocks)
Yes, I'll be breaking these Erocks
(What's my price to Bpay?)
What's my price to Epay?
AbmSun keeps beating down on me, Ebmwall's a mile high
DbmUp in the tower they're watching me, F#hoping I'm gonna die
(I won't be breaking no Brocks)E
I said "I Bwon't be breaking no Erocks"
(I won't be breaking no Brocks)E
(I won't be breaking no Brocks)E
(I won't be breaking no Brocks)E
