Intro -synth, x2-: E  A

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

Pre-Chorus:
          A            Ab
Just like most falling head in
       Gbm              Ab     B
Til my ghost fills the bed in

Chorus:
           E         A
So lift it up like a banner
        E       Abm
Hold it up over me
        Dbm           A
If this war is never ending
            B
I take this love
          E
down with me
               A
-Like a banner-
E                A
  -Like a banner-

Verse:
E
I don't need fate 

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

Pre-Chorus:
        A
Not the sorceress 
        Ab
not the money
       Gbm
All my cleverness 
       Ab      B
all my cunning

Chorus:
           E         A
So lift it up like a banner
        E       Abm
Hold it up over me
        Dbm           A
If this war is never ending
            B
I take this love
          E
down with me
               A
-Like a banner-
E                A
  -Like a banner-

Bridge:
E
It's around me in

my surroundings
Gbm
It counts me when it 

starts the counting
E
In the chaos 

there is a standard
Abm
I'm carrying it 

like a banner
E
It's around me in

my surroundings
Gbm
It kills me when it 

starts the counting
E
In the chaos 

there is a standard
Abm
I'm carrying it 

like a banner

Chorus:
           E         A
So lift it up like a banner
        E       Abm
Hold it up over me
        Dbm           A
If this war is never ending
            B
I take this love
          E
down with me
               A
-Like a banner-
        E       Abm
Hold it up over me
        Dbm           A
If this war is never ending
            B
I take this love
          E
down with me
