Here's a story about the rules of death and glory
Em (Riff 1)
To be learned by heart by all children of men
FAm
It's the hour of the morning on the day after the dawning
BbG
When the sun they said would never set finally set again
CC7+CC7+
Was it cromwell or orwell who first led you to the stairwell
Em (Riff 2)
Which leads only forever to kingdom come
FAm
Rushed alone by guiding hands whispers of the promised land
BbGGG#
They wished you luck and handed you a gun
CGG#
Life could be so handsome
CGG#
Life could be so gay
C
We're going nowhere
BbG
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way
CC7+CC7+
In the pub that night racking out the lines of shite
Em (Riff 1)
Putting to right all of the world's great wrongs
FAm
Yes we thought that they were brothers then they half-murdered each other
BbG
Then they did a karaoke turn and murdered our best song
CC7+CC7+
Told the governor's wife about the last night of his life
Em (Riff 1)
She turned away in tears called you a liar
FAm
Where are all the old dreams now? the batallions, once so proud
BbGGG#
Lost in some old song and hanging on the old barbedwire
CGG#
Life could be so handsome
CGG#
It's so good to be okay
C
We're going nowhere
BbG
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way
Solo:

Nowhere in the institutions did they teach that revolution
Em (Riff 1)
Was something that could ever come to pass
FAm
Oh we tried one, once before was the king's head on the floor
BbGGG#
And we got booted out the boozer cause someone smashed the glass
CGG#
Life could be so handsome
CGG#
Life could be okay
C
We're going nowhere
BbGGG#
But nowhere, nowhere's on our way
CGG#
Life could be so handsome
CGG#
It's all gonna be okay
C
We're going nowhere
BbG
Cause nowhere, nowhere's on our way
C
Nowhere's on our way
