So you think I'm alone
            Ab                     Ebm
But being alone's the only way to be

Below the ground's the only place to be
            Bbm          Db
Cos in this life
               Ab                   Ebm
You spend time running from depravity


              Bbm   Ab
And this is a cold war
       Eb                         Bbm
Do you know what you're fighting for?

Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
    Eb                      Bbm
May all evil stumble as it flies in the world
Db                            Ab
All the tribes comes and the mighty will crumble
        Eb                         Bbm
We must brave this night and have faith in love
                            Db
I'm trying to find my peace
                  Ab                                Ebm
I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
                Bbm      Db
And it hurts my heart
          Ab                        Ebm
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?


          Bbm   Ab
This is a cold war
