Lyrics
SUBURBAN WAR
F
I walk in the yard
B
stare into the fallen leaves
E
all around my feet
C# F#m D
and wonder how it came to this
A
emotional apocolypse
F
deep in your eyes
B
I saw our bridges burning down
E
In the raging flames
C# F#m D
did we let the years just melt away?
A D
was that really me
C#m
was that really you
E
saying we were through...?
A C#m
Don't need a cause
D Bm
when armies are made up of one
D/B F/D
no one has to draw a gun
A D E
Words hurt even more
A C#m
Don't need a sword
D Bm
to bring each other to our knees
D/B F/D
We make our love a casualty
F#m E-D
with a slamming door
A
In SUBURBAN WAR
I wait in the night
all I hear is my heart beat
not a word from you
Is it too late for apologies?
let's call for a truce
for Armistice day
Can't go on this way...
(repeat chorus)
C C#
Always thought arms were meant to hold
F#
to give comfort in the cold
Eb G#m F# E F#
and wars were fought so far from home...
(repeat chorus)
