Intro -synth, x2-: Gb  B

Verse:
Gb
Maybe it's bricks and mortar now
Abm                         Bbm
Whether or not they run it down
Gb
I don't want anything 
              Abm        Bbm
to shake that shape away
Gb
No one told us which way to come
Abm                  Bbm
Nobody mapped oblivion
Gb                        Abm
So I go growing roses in disarray

Pre-Chorus:
          B            Bb
Just like most falling head in
       Abm              Bb     Db
Til my ghost fills the bed in

Chorus:
           Gb         B
So lift it up like a banner
        Gb       Bbm
Hold it up over me
        Ebm           B
If this war is never ending
            Db
I take this love
          Gb
down with me
               B
-Like a banner-
Gb                B
  -Like a banner-

Verse:
Gb
I don't need fate 

to give it time
Abm
Doesn't take pain 
               Bbm
to change your mind
Gb
No weapon can sever 
              Abm
the soul from me

Pre-Chorus:
        B
Not the sorceress 
        Bb
not the money
       Abm
All my cleverness 
       Bb      Db
all my cunning

Chorus:
           Gb         B
So lift it up like a banner
        Gb       Bbm
Hold it up over me
        Ebm           B
If this war is never ending
            Db
I take this love
          Gb
down with me
               B
-Like a banner-
Gb                B
  -Like a banner-

Bridge:
Gb
It's around me in

my surroundings
Abm
It counts me when it 

starts the counting
Gb
In the chaos 

there is a standard
Bbm
I'm carrying it 

like a banner
Gb
It's around me in

my surroundings
Abm
It kills me when it 

starts the counting
Gb
In the chaos 

there is a standard
Bbm
I'm carrying it 

like a banner

Chorus:
           Gb         B
So lift it up like a banner
        Gb       Bbm
Hold it up over me
        Ebm           B
If this war is never ending
            Db
I take this love
          Gb
down with me
               B
-Like a banner-
        Gb       Bbm
Hold it up over me
        Ebm           B
If this war is never ending
            Db
I take this love
          Gb
down with me
