  Cmaj7  Gm7      Cmaj7 Gm7
A waking world of innocence
   Cmaj7       Gm7        Cmaj7  Gm7
So grave those first born cries
     Fm7    Cm9      Fm7          Cm9
When life begins with needles and pins
   Cmaj7     Gm7        Cmaj7    Gm7
It ends with swords and knives

   Cmaj7  Gm7     Cmaj7    Gm7
Oh danger man, oh danger man
     Cmaj7      Gm7    Cmaj7   Gm7
Your blade fits like a glove
     Fm7       C#maj7
When forged in steel
     Fm7       C#maj7
Time cannot heal
     Cmaj7     Gm7     Cmaj7   Gm7
That blood red bond of love

   Fm7                        Cm9
In times of trouble you're an open book
         Fm7            Cm9
With the change in the way you look
         Cma7           Gm7            Cmaj7         Gm7
And it's sad love's not enough to make things better

Cmaj7
Turn the tables, we'll burn the fables
G#maj7
Lies beneath the visions and daydreams
                              A#maj7
Fooled by now, we mystify the past
Like a dream, like it never happened

     Fm7    C#maj7   Fm7          C#maj7
When life begins with needles and pins
   Cmaj7     Gm7        Cmaj7    Gm7
It ends with swords and knives
    Cmaj7      Gm7     Cmaj7
God save those born to die
