F C Dm 
Leaving all the world to play 
A 
They disappear 
F C Dm A 
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer 
F C Dm A 
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn 
F C 
Mist surrounds the seagulls 
Dm Em Am 
Christened by the storm 

D G 
Music, all I hear is music .... guaranteed to please 
Em A 
And I look for something else 
D 
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops 
G 
Flowing in the drains 
Em A 
As the people run their lives 
Em A D C 
And their lives are run by time 

F C Dm A 
Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill 
F C Dm A 
Death is easy as a substitute for pride 
F C Dm A 
Victors join together, happy in their bed 
F C Dm Em Am 
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead 

D G 
Music, all I hear is music .... guaranteed to please 
Em A 
And I look for something else 
D 
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops 
G 
Flowing in the drains 
Em A 
As the people run their lives 
Em A D C 
And their lives are run by time
