Intro A F#m  (the riff is ... a c# f#)

A        F#m       D          A           
I can't give you the kiss of life
A           F#m    D              A           
That's for heroes and my lips are dry
A          F#m     D        A           
You can't breath, without lungs
A                       F#m               E           
You can't resuscitate a heart that doesn't beat. 

CHORUS I
            A                  D
When your shoes are made of concrete
            A                  D
Your money's building bombs
      F#m                           E
And everyone drops when the flags unfurl
            F#m                 D   E      
Dead to the world, dead to the world

I can't tell you how little time
There is left now for yours and mine
You can't see without a face
But you can demolish everything that's in your path

CHORUS 2
And you watch them going under 
Children dying under
And bands play on as the batons twirl
Dead to the world, dead to the world

Instrumental 

I can't think now, I'm running scared
I just blink now under this veil
You can't breathe, without lungs
You can't negotiate the peace with a gun in your hand

CHORUS 3
And you watch them going under 
Blood and fire and thunder
In the back of a fall out shelter where you lay curled
Dead to the world, dead to the world
Dead to the world, dead to the world

CHORUS 4
Watch them going under 
Blood and fire and thunder
Watch them going under 
Blood and fire and thunder
Dead to the world, dead to the world
