Intro:  

Synthesizer: G  C (2x) 


Verse 1: 

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


Refrain 1: 

          C            B 
Just like most falling head in 
       Am              B     D 
Til my ghost fills the bed in 


Chorus 1:
 
           G         C 
So lift it up like a banner 
        G       Bm 
Hold it up over me 
        Em           C 
If this war is never ending 
            D 
I take this love 
          G 
down with me 
               C 
(Like a banner) 
G                C 
  (Like a banner) 


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


Refrain 2:
 
        C 
Not the sorceress  
        B 
not the money 
       Am 
All my cleverness  
       B      D 
all my cunning 


Repeat Chorus 1) 


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


Chorus 1: 

           G         C 
So lift it up like a banner 
        G       Bm 
Hold it up over me 
        Em           C 
If this war is never ending 
            D 
I take this love 
          G 
down with me 
               C 
(Like a banner) 
        G       Bm 
Hold it up over me 
        Em           C 
If this war is never ending 
            D 
I take this love 
          G 
down with me
