Verse 1:

C        Am
All last night
       F               C
Well I dreamt I was free
C              Am
Free from both truth and love
             F          C
And they were free from me
C                 Am
Dressed up like a businessman
       F            C
Making money off of war
C              Am
Messed up as a politician
       F              C
Taking money from the poor
C         Am
No longer weighed down
      F              C
By respect, nor decency
C               Am
No blood, no faith found
   F                 C
No place for them to be
C             Am
And I wore my crown
       F        C
Like a liar's sword
C             Am
Cursed at the ground
           F            C
That I've been walking on
              C
Been walking on

Am F C

                  C
I've been walking on

Am F C


Verse 2:

C        Am
All last night
       F                C
Well I dreamt I was cold
C              Am
Started up a fire burning
   F             C
Us out of control
C               Am
A face I barely recognize
    F                    C
Was staring out from the smoke
     C               Am
Then, pointed at my blackened heart
        F                 C
But the broken voice then spoke
     C                  Am
Said, 'plans are only wrecking balls
     F                C
Then life gets on its way
        C                  Am
There's more to this than I recall
         F                 C
Probably more than I could say
      C                   Am
And if hate shall be your weapon
       F                   C
Lonely death shall be your toll
      C                Am
And if profit is your motive
     F              C
Then emptiness your soul
               C
Emptiness your soul

Am F C

               C
Emptiness your soul

Am F C


Verse 3:

C        Am
All last night
       F                C
Well I dreamt I was gone
C                Am
Nothing left but ashes
         F                C
A bitter taste upon your tongue
C              Am
Shadows in the market
           F                C
Where as a child I had once played
C                 Am
Abandoned in the evening
       F              C
Like a bloodless serenade
C            Am
Every moment crashing
           F                   C
Through my mind, cold like the wind
     C                  Am
That whistles down the promenade
         F               C
Where my love and I had been
   C               Am
No countenance, no reason
        F                  C
For the things I may have done
     C                      Am
Left stripped and standing naked
       F             C
In the place that I begun
           C
All come undone

Am F C

           C
All come undone

Am F C C

Am F C

                  C
Saw these strange days

Am F C

                  C
Saw these strange days

Am F C

                  C
Saw these strange days

Am F C

                  C
Saw these strange days

Am F            C
   Take me away
