[Intro] - Accordion - 
C *, Am *, Em *, F


C *
Trouble travels fast
C *                                 Am *
When you're specially designed for crash testing
                                  Em * 
Or wearing wool sunglasses in the afternoon
                                F
Come on and tell us what you're trying to prove
           C *
Cuz it's a battle when you dabble in war
                      Am *
You store it up, unleash it, then you piece it together
                     Em *
Whether the storm drain running rampant just stamp it
                   F
And send it to somebody who's pretending to care
     
     C *
Just cash in your blanks for little toy tanks
             Am *
Learn how to use them, then abuse them and choose them
            Em *
Over conver-sations relationships are overrated
   F
"I hated everyone" said the sun

          C *
So I will cook all your books
                C *
You're too good looking and mistooken
          Am *
You could watch it instead
                                     Em *
From the comfort of your burning beds
                                F    /G *
…Or you can sleep through the static

C         G          Am
Who needs sleep when we've got love?
F         G         C
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
C         G           Am
Who needs please when we've got guns?
F         G          C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
    C      G                    Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
        F      G                    C
We went beyond where we should have gone
 C *
Stuck between channels my thoughts all quit
               Am *
I thought about them too much, allowed them to touch
      Em *
The feelings that rained down on the plains all dried and cracked
       F
Waiting for things that never came
 C *
Shock and awful thing to make somebody think
         Am *
That they have to choose pushing for peace supporting the troops
    Em *
And either you're weak or you'll use brute force feed
      F
The truth is we say not as we do
  C *
We say anytime, anywhere, just show your teeth and strike the fear
      Am *
Of God wears camouflage, cries at night and drives a dodge
 Em *
Pick up the beat and stop hogging the feast
 F
That's no way to treat an enemy

 C *
Well mighty mighty appetite
 C *
We just eat 'em up and keep on driving
 Am *
Freedom can be freezin' take a picture from the pretty side
 Em *
Mind your manners wave your banners
 F
What a wonderful world that this angle can see

C         G          Am
But who needs to see what we've done?
F         G         C
Who needs please when we've got guns?
C         G          Am
Who needs keys when we've got clubs?
F         G         C
Who needs peace when we've gone above
C         G          Am
But beyond where we should have gone?
F         G         C
Beyond where we should have gone
C         G          Am
We went beyond where we should have gone
F         G         C
Beyond where we should have gone
