Intro -x2-: Eb  Bbm  Db  Fm

Verse:
Eb        Bbm          Db                       Fm
Why do I have to fly over every town up and down the line?
Eb               Bbm               Db                   Fm
I'll die on the clouds above and you that I defend I do not love

Chorus:
   Gb                  Ebm                  Ab
I wake up it's a bad dream, no one on my side
               Fm                  Gb
I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting
Ebm                          Ab      Ab7
Guess I'm not the fighting kind

Verse:
Eb            Bbm            Db                       Fm
When will I meet my fate? Baby I'm a man and I was born to hate
Eb           Bbm            Db                          Fm
When will I meet my end?  In a better time you could be my friend

Chorus:
   Gb                  Ebm                  Ab
I wake up it's a bad dream, no one on my side
               Fm                  Gb
I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting
Ebm                          Ab
Guess I'm not the fighting kind
                 Fm                Gb
Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side
                      Ebm                    Ab
But you're long gone, yes you're long gone now


Fm     Gb
Yeah....
Ebm          Ab
Where do we go?
  Fm         Gb
I don't even know
Ab              Gb
My strange old face
                              Ebm   Ab
And I'm thinking about those days
                              Gb
And I'm thinking about those days

I was fighting but I just feel too tired to be fighting

Guess I'm not the fighting kind
                 Fm                Gb
Wouldn't mind it if you were by my side
