Intro (synth, x2): G C Verse: G Maybe it's bricks and mortar now Am Bm Whether or not they run it down G I don't want anything Am Bm to shake that shape away G No one told us which way to come Am Bm Nobody mapped oblivion G Am So I go growing roses in disarray Pre-chorus: C B Just like most falling head in Am B D Til my ghost fills the bed in Chorus: G C So lift it up like a banner G Bm Hold it up over me Em C If this war is never ending D I take this love G down with me C (Like a banner) G C (Like a banner) Verse: G I don't need fate to give it time Am Doesn't take pain Bm to change your mind G No weapon can sever Am the soul from me Pre-chorus: C Not the sorceress B not the money Am All my cleverness B D all my cunning Chorus: G C So lift it up like a banner G Bm Hold it up over me Em C If this war is never ending D I take this love G down with me C (Like a banner) G C (Like a banner) Bridge: G It's around me in my surroundings Am It counts me when it starts the counting G In the chaos there is a standard Bm I'm carrying it like a banner G It's around me in my surroundings Am It kills me when it starts the counting G In the chaos there is a standard Bm I'm carrying it like a banner Chorus: G C So lift it up like a banner G Bm Hold it up over me Em C If this war is never ending D I take this love G down with me C (Like a banner) G Bm Hold it up over me Em C If this war is never ending D I take this love G down with me This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
