Once We Were Anarchists Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Demonstrations got Gboring,

 Well it was oCbvious that the government was ignoring us

 It's Emhard to drag yourself through empty streets

 On an eFmpty stomach with no sleep

 The shortcomings got cGlearer

 As the Cprice we paid got dearer and dearer

 It's suEmpposed to be a case of give and take

 Well I was Ffeeling the give and making the mistake

 And I've Amheard it said the Funexamined lGife,

AmIsn't much worth lFiving, and I'm sure they're rGight

 But it's hAmard to keep on fFighting the good fGight

 When Amno one else seems Fbothered

 Yeah, when Dno one's on your side

 Because I'm Cyoung enough to be aDll pissed off

 But I'm Gold enough to be jCaded

 I'm aCt the age where I wDant things to change

 But with Bmage my hopes have Cfaded

 I'm yCoung and bored of being yoDung and bored

 If I was Bmold I could say I've seen it Emall beDfore

 In shoCrt; I'm tiDred of giving a sGhit

 I've got friends who are bGankers

 And it's an eCasy rhyme to call them wankers

 But I mEmust say I envy the way that they live

 And it's aFll; it's all take and no give

 Well I'm playing the lone rGanger

CRiding to the rescue of 6 billion strangers

EmArmed with only an original song

 And a sFense that something's wrong

 And I Cmust admit that I'm G/Btired of saying Amno, all the tGime

 Well I must aCdmit that G/BI don't really kFnow what would be rGight

 And if pColitics, is hBelping other people

 Then my pEmolitical cDareer is pretty fCucked

 Because the tCruth is I don't like pDeople all that mGuch

 The times they aren't a-cGhanging

 Yeah EnCgland's still shit, and it's still raining

 And evEmerybody's jaded and tired and bored

 And nFo one lifts a finger, because

 It's just not in our cuGlture

 Our cCulture is carrion and we're all vultures

 And Emno one seems bothered by the state of play

 It sFeems that the stench is with us to stay

 So I Amhad a go, I tFried examining lGife

 It wAmasn't much worth lFiving

 I guess they're rGight

 And I'm tAmired of fighting the fFight that's not my fGight

AmSo is everyFbody else, we're aDll on the same side.

 Because I'm Cyoung enough to be Dall pissed off

 But I'm Gold enough to be jCaded

 I'm Cat the age where I wDant things to change

 But with Bmage my hopes have fCaded

 I'm yCoung and bored of being Dyoung and bored

 If I was Bmold I could say I've seen it Emall bDefore

 In Cshort; I'm tDired

 And in sChort; I'm probably fDired

 If the rCevolution doesn't wDant me, I don't give a Gshit.
