Verse 1:
BbCDmC
Across the flatlands we came out of nowhere special
BbCDmAm
Like a peasant revolution - makeshift weapons in our hands
BbCDmC
We crashed the gates so hard we'd never heard that kind of sound before
BbCDmAm
And braced ourselves for victory and the spoils of the land
GmAm
Defences melt away before our frozen blank surprise
GA
Chorus:
DmFAm
I've got my trophies on the wall, the heads I've hunted down the hall
DmFAm
And I guard my winnings well, carry them with me when I fall
DmFAm
Now the daylight hours pass like the people I have lost
DmFAm
In the triumph of the hour, in the bloody cause - lust for power
Riff with verse chords (Bb C Dm C)
Verse 2:
BbCDmC
Like a vision she dances through the shafts of light
BbCDmAm
Everything I've ever dreamed about focused true and bright
BbCDmC
And fortune opens up the ground, blackens out the sky
BbCDmAm
I kissed her once, I kissed her twice but I couldn't remember why
GmAm
When I was young they taught me well to always play to win
GmA
But they never said what happens when you've won the bloody game
Chorus
Bridge:
(Gm F Eb) x2
CmD
And all desire is satisfied but still the hunt goes on
GmA
It's funny how this feeling stays with all the reasons gone
Verse 3:
BbCDmC
We've seen them fat and bloated those who once could hold a flame
BbCDmAm
I've run for home and words gone by but nothing seems the same
BbCDmC
I can watch the world in secrecy from one side of this glass
BCDAmGmAm
The streets are lined with glittering stores and a million fatted calves
GmA
I can catch myself sometimes these days and all I do is laugh, laugh
Chorus
