Swords And Knives(Chords)

	        Em7    Bb       G       Dm 
A waking world of innocence 
   Em7         Bb         G   Dm 
So grave those first born cries 
     D#     Csus2     D#          Csus2 
When life begins with needles and pins 
   Em7       Bb         G    Dm 
It ends with swords and knives 
   Em7    Bb      G      Dm 
Oh danger man, oh danger man 
     Em7        Bb     G   Dm 
Your blade fits like a glove 
     D#        Csus2 
When forged in steel 
     D#     Csus2 
Time cannot heal 
     Em7       Bb      G  Dm 
That blood red bond of love 

   D#                         Csus2 
In times of trouble you're an open book 
         D#            Csus2 
With the change in the way you look 
         Em7            Bb             G         Dm 
And it's sad love's not enough to make things better 

(instrumental) 


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

When life begins with needles and pins 
it ends with Swords and Knives 
God save those born to die
