New Model Army - I love the world

^EmThe roll of distant thunder breaks, the afternoon of silence wakes ^EmThey hurry through from Petergate as if they know this dance ^EmIn fury blind, I drive at night across the moors, the open roads ^EmBeneath the freezing starry skies, racing in some trance ^CThese cities are illusions of some ^G#triumph over Nature's laws ^AmWe've seen the iron carcass rust and ^Bbuildings topple into dust ^CAnd as the waters rise, it seems we ^G#cling to all the rootless things ^AmThe Christian lies, technology, while ^Bspirits scream and sing

Oh God I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world

^EmWell I never said I was a clever man but I know enough to understand ^EmThat the endless leaps and forward plans will someday have to cease ^EmYou blind yourselves with comfort lies like lightning never strikes you twice ^EmAnd we laugh at your amazed surprise as the Ark begins to sink ^CThis temple that is built so well to ^G#separate us from ourselves Is a ^Ampower grown beyond control, a ^Bwill without a face And ^Cwatching from outside I wish that ^G#I could wash my hands of this But ^Amwe are locked together here, this ^Bbittersweet embrace

Oh God I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the world, I ^Clove the world

^EmAnd if one day the final fire ^Cexplodes across the whitened sky ^Em6I know you've said you'd rather die and ^C/Emake it over fast ^EmWith courage from your bravest friends, ^Cwaiting outside for the end With no ^Em6bitterness but an innocence that ^C/EI can't seem to grasp I ^Cknow somehow I will survive - this ^G#fury just to stay alive So ^Amdrunk with sickness, weak with pain, I can ^Bwalk the hills one last time ^CScarred and smiling, dying slow, I'll ^G#scream to no one left at all I ^Amtold you so, I told you so, I ^Btold you so .

I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Glove the wor^Cld I ^Emlove the world, I ^Amlove the world I ^Gtold you so ^{C Em}
