Synthesizer: G5  C5   x2


Verse 1:
G5
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
A5                         B5
Whether or not they run it down
G5
I don't want anything 
              A5        B5
to shake that shape away
G5
No one told us which way to come
A5                  B5
Nobody mapped oblivion
G5                        A5
So I go growing roses in disarray


Refrain 1:
          C5            B5
Just like most falling head in
       A5              B5     D5
Til my ghost fills the bed in


Chorus 1:
           G5         C5
So lift it up like a banner
        G5       B5
Hold it up over me
        E5           C5
If this war is never ending
            D5
I take this love
          G5
down with me
               C5
(Like a banner)
G5                C5
  (Like a banner)


Verse 2:
G5
I don't need fate 
to give it time
A5
Doesn't take pain 
               B5
to change your mind
G5
No weapon can sever 
              A5
the soul from me


Refrain 2:
        C5
Not the sorceress 
        B5
not the money
       A5
All my cleverness 
       B5      D5
all my cunning


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
G5
It's around me in
my surroundings
A5
It counts me when it 
starts the counting
G5
In the chaos 
there is a standard
B5
I'm carrying it 
like a banner
G5
It's around me in
my surroundings
A5
It kills me when it 
starts the counting
G5
In the chaos 
there is a standard
B5
I'm carrying it 
like a banner


Chorus 1:
           G5         C5
So lift it up like a banner
        G5       B5
Hold it up over me
        E5           C5
If this war is never ending
            D5
I take this love
          G5
down with me
               C5
(Like a banner)
        G5       B5
Hold it up over me
        E5           C5
If this war is never ending
            D5
I take this love
          G(hold)
down with me
