Flags

G              C9              D 
Talk amongst the skeletons this morning 
 G              C9              D 
Aside from all the medicine and health 
   Em                    C 
If you could do it all again 
  G                    D 
Would you do it all the same? 
     Em                      G                D2 
Is there something that you'd tell your former self? 
           G                       
There were those that wished 
     C9             D 
They'd spun upon a jukebox 
          G               C9             D 
There were pirates who had never seen the sea 
    Em                C 
But the one recurring theme 
   G                D 
The one recurring dream they had 
   Em             G           D2 
Was to be whatever they wanted to be 


     G           D 
To be Pyotr Tchaikovsky 
     G         C9        D 
To be free like everyone else 
         G      C9         D 
There will be no flags to warn me 
      Em7      C9          D 
'Cause I just want to be myself

    G          C9           D 
You'll let telephone in by a region 
        G      C9                 D 
Is there any advice that you could give? 
    Em7                      C 
When you know you're not like them 
     C           Em 
Do you know La Varsovienne? 
     Em 
I know that I am living 
   Em                    D 
But can you show me how to live 


       G          D 
And the Holy Roman Army 
         G             C9          D 
Said your heart beats like everyone else 
         G       C9         D 
You don't need no flags to tell you who you are 
  Em7    C9         D    G 
I just want to be myself 

  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 
  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 
  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 
  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 



          G              D 
There's an aura that surrounds me 
         G         C9        D 
There's a different kind of wealth 
      G         C9         D 
And I don't need flags to know  

you're really something 
   G      C9           D 
And I just love you for yourself 
   G      C9           D 
Oh, I just love you for yourself 

( G  C9  D ) 

  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 
  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa 
  G                      C9        D 
Lalala laaaa lalala laaaa lalala laaaa
