Burning City Smoke Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

A40 million refugees

 with no Dplace on this eaErth to call their home A

 one for Aevery aimless graduate

 with notDhing else to shoEw for it but loans A

 And thosDe of us who makeA a mark

 use someEone else's bloodA

 Our westDern stain won't wash awaAy

 won't vaEnish in the flooAd

 It goes Bmdeeper through each hurricAane

 and tidaDl wave aEnd war Bm A

 We want everytC♯mhing we see F♯m

 and once it's goBmne we justE want more A

AAtlas had those shoulders

 We've got AmbieDn and Jamesons and bloEw A

 to biAnd us in a bubble

 keep the newspDrint nightmare distant anEd remote A

 But whenD we wake in guilAlotines

 And pitcEh our screaming fits A

 When the governoDrs strikes up thAe band

 And gagsE our parted lipsA

 When the worst cBmase shows up dressed and dAazzling,

 ReDady for Ethe baBmll A

 Boy, that bubbC♯mles bound to burF♯mst,

 And what a tragic Bmway to Efall A

AThe tabloids tell us hate the rat that

DStrikes those subways closed Eand puts you out A

AForgot those 50 hour tunnel weeks inhaliDng

 Steel dust poisoEn through his mouth A

DWell if he don’t deserve a pensiAon that

 Makes his familyE feel securAe

DIf we're now so disconneActed

 it's ourE reflections we Aignore

 And if our constBmant choices

Askim and pass the writinDg on theE wall Bm A

 Then, I'm sad toC♯m say we're lost F♯m

 and I'm embarrasBmsed for us Eall A

Just play that same pattern over until the end of the song...
