                     WAR ON A FEELING - Hostage Calm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't exactly figure out the bridge with the key change, I'm not sure what they're 
doing there, but I put down what I play. Rest of it should be pretty accurate, this is my 
favorite HC song, enjoy.

Tuning: Half Step Down



B                                                      E
Refused to find the stars aligned in skies ripe for misleading;
                B           F#
Reserve them my contempt.
    B                                                 E
And worlds behind their obscured lights, confidence depleted
   C#m                 E         B
In hopes that you wont find us retreating.


B                                                      E
The more I stalled, suburban sprawl kept creeping ever closer,
    C#m                 B           F#
Forewarned though I had been.
  B                                                 E
A familys ware, so unprepared to cope with their confinement.
   C#m        E              F#                  E
It reminded me of the times, when I sit down and cry,
                                   B
And hope you find someone who wont hurt you
   G#m            E
As much as I know I do.


B                                                         E
Twenty-five years down the line, means a hundred changing seasons:
       C#m                  E
Do you fear what might well pass?

F#m                                         E
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
                                   B
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
        G#m       C#m
Staring up at the ceiling,
F#m    G#m      E             B
Waging war on a feeling.


B                                       E
Half-asleep machinery, the citys always driving;
                B        F#
Shouldnt you be too?
B                                                 E
Motown, dont it hurt to know your best days are behind you?
         C#m                E
But that midnight oil still burns.


F#m                                         E
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
                                   B
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
        G#m       C#m
Staring up at the ceiling,
F#m    G#m      E             B
Waging war on a feeling.


F                G                   Dm
Share an evening treat on a roadside near
                         E
I go to watch things disappear.
            Dm             F                    Am
And we find time to wonder why things wont feel right.
           E    F#m
(Without escape    the hostage waits)


B                                                               E
With drawn out wars on several fronts, you might find one worth winning.
       C#m                  E
Do you fear what might well pass?

F#m                                         E
It subsides, like how the better part of me dies.
                                   B
Im missing what the days have been stealing,
        G#m       C#m
Staring up at the ceiling.
F#m    G#m      E
Waging war on a feeling.
F#m    G#m      E
Waging war on a feeling.
F#m    G#m      E
Waging war on a feeling.
