Verse 1:
[Bb] Across the fl[C]atlands we came [Dm]out of nowhere sp[C]ecial
Like a [Bb]peasant revol[C]ution - makeshift [Dm]weapons in our h[Am]ands
We [Bb]crashed the gates so h[C]ard we'd never [Dm]heard that kind of s[C]ound before
And [Bb]braced ourselves for [C]victory and the s[Dm]poils of the [Am]land
Def[Gm]ences melt away before our [Am]frozen blank surprise
[Gm] [A]
Chorus:
I've got my [Dm]trophies on the w[F]all, the heads I'v[Am]e hunted down the hall
And I g[Dm]uard my winnings [F]well, carry the[Am]m with me when I fall
Now the [Dm]daylight hours [F]pass like th[Am]e people I have lost
In the [Dm]triumph of the [F]hour, in th[Am]e bloody cause - lust for power
Riff with verse chords (Bb C Dm C)
Verse 2:
[Bb] Like a [C]vision she dances [Dm]through the shafts of li[C]ght
Everyt[Bb]hing I've ever dr[C]eamed about [Dm]focused true and [Am]bright
And [Bb]fortune opens [C]up the ground, [Dm]blackens out the s[C]ky
I [Bb]kissed her once, I [C]kissed her twice but I [Dm]couldn't remember w[Am]hy
When [Gm]I was young they taught me well to [Am]always play to win
But they [Gm]never said what happens when you've [A]won the bloody game
Chorus
Bridge:
(Gm F Eb) x2
And [Cm]all desire is satisfied but [D]still the hunt goes on
It's [Gm]funny how this feeling stays with [A]all the reasons gone
Verse 3:
We've [Bb]seen them fat and bl[C]oated those who [Dm]once could hold a fl[C]ame
I've [Bb]run for home and [C]words gone by but [Dm]nothing seems the s[Am]ame
I can [Bb]watch the world in [C]secrecy from [Dm]one side of this [C]glass
[Bb] [C] [Dm] [Am]
The s[Gm]treets are lined with glittering stores and a [Am]million fatted calves
I can [Gm]catch myself sometimes these days and [A]all I do is laugh, laugh
Chorus
