Am
Fired forty rounds in the centre of town
G
He thought to bring the world around
Am
Sleepless nights with God and Christ
C G
The New Messiah
Am
Burn the world to change the days
G
Can be done in better ways
Am
But to make news and front page
C G
You've gotta aim higher
Am
They didn't build Jerusalem
G Am
They didn't find the land
G Am
For reasons of security
G C Am
They couldn't find the plans
G Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G C G
No new songs and no new heroes
G Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G C G
Waiting for the day the circle's broken
Am G Am C G
Am
Took the mic to save day
G
The rock star's going to have his say
Am C G
interpret this in any way as if it matters
Am
Cos nothing's black and nothing's white
G
Nothing appears to be quite right
Am
It'll be this way until the day
C G
The circle's shattered
Am
I heard an old song yesterday
G Am
About a better world
G
You know the story
Am
Well, They're all the same
G C Am
The boy gets the girl
G Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G C G
No new songs and no new heroes
G Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G C G
Waiting for the day the circle's broken
Am G Am C G
Am
From the tips of your fingers
The rest is numb
G
You begin to feel the warmth of the sun
Am
It's taken away been taking away
C G
All you once knew
Am
Taking it back takes all you've got
G
No time to sit and watch it rot
Am
Believe it's yours and not the lies
C G
Or all hell to you
Am
They didn't build Jerusalem
G Am
They didn't find the land
G Am
For reasons of security
G C Am
They couldn't find the plans
G Am
And we're left standing watching from below
G C G
No new songs and no new heroes
G Am
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
G C G Am...
Waiting for the day the circle's broken
