Chorus:
E               Abm
Gloria! Viva La Gloria!
Dbm                         A
You blast your name in graffiti on the walls.
A                                   E        B            Dbm
Falling through broken glass that's slashing through your spirit.
A                         B
I can hear it like a jilted crowd.
E                     Abm
Gloria! Where are you Gloria?
Dbm                          A
You found a home in all your scars and ammunition.
A                          D      B         Dbm
You made your bed in salad days amongst the ruins.
A                     B
Ashes to ashes of our youth.


Verse 2:
E               B             Dbm
She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria)
A           E               B
as autumn's wind fades into black.
E          B                Dbm
She is the saint of all the sinners. (Gloria)
A              E                  B
The one that's fallen through the cracks.
         A             B
So don't put away your burning light.


Chorus:
E                     Abm
Gloria! Where are you Gloria?
Dbm                      A           
Don't lose your faith to your lost naivete.
A                                E       B    Dbm
Weather the storm and don't look back on last November
A                              B
when your banners were burning down.
E               Abm
Gloria! Viva La Gloria!
Dbm                       A
Send me your amnesty down to the broken hearted.
A                           E      B    Dbm
Bring us the season that we always will remember.
A                         B
Don't let the bonfires go out.


Outtro:
   A    E
So Gloria
A             E         A               E              B
Send out your message of the light that shadows in the night
A    E A               E
Gloria where's your undying love?
A           E             B
Tell me the story of your life ...
     E
Your life!
