Capo 3
D G Em7 *(Asus4)A7
This is where the helicopters came to take me away
[D]Th[G]is[Em7] is [A7]where the children used to play
[D]Th[G]is[Em7] is [A7]only half a mile away from the attack
[D]Th[G]is[Em7] is [A7]where my life changed in a day; and then it changed back
[D]Bu[D/C#]ried [Bmb6]in th[G/F#]e din[G] o[Em7]f rotor noise and close explosions
[D]I [D/C#]do my[Bmb6] best[G/F#] to s[G]yn[A7]thesize the sounds and my emotions
[D]Th[G]is[Em7] is [A7]where the allies bombed the school, they say by mistake
[D]He[G]re[Em7] nob[A7]ody takes me for a fool, just for a fake
[D]La[D/C#]ter a[Bmb6]t the[G/F#] hote[G]l [Em7]bar, the journalists are waiting
[D]I [D/C#]hurry[Bmb6] back[G/F#] to m[G]y [A7]guitar while they're commiserating
[D]An[G]d [Em7]I'll[A7] be leaving soon
[D]I'[G]ll[Em7] be [A7]leaving soon
[D]Ju[G]st[Em7] as [A7]soon as we were on the ground, we were back in the jet
[D]Ju[G]st[Em7] ano[A7]ther three-day foreign tour we'd never forget
[D]It[D/C#]'s ha[Bmb6]rd to[G/F#] symp[G]at[Em7]hize with all this devastation
[D]Ho[D/C#]pping[Bmb6] 'rou[G/F#]nd fr[G]om[A7] site to site like tourists on vacation
[D]An[G]d [Em7]I'll[A7] be leaving soon
[D]I'[G]ll[Em7] be [A7]leaving soon
[D]I [D/C#]can't[D/C] hel[Bm]p a[A7]nyone, 'cause everyone's so cold
[D]Ev[D/C#]eryon[D/C]e's [Gm6/Bb]so skep[Bm]tical of everything they're told
[Cadd9]And ev[G/B]en I[Gm6/Bb] get si[A7]ck of needing to be sold
[D]Th[G]ou[Em7]gh i[A7]t's only half a month away, the media's gone
[D]An[G] e[Em7]nter[A7]taining scandal broke today, but I can't move on
[D]I'[D/C#]m hau[D/C]nted[Bmb6] by a[G/F#] stor[G]y [Em7]and I do my best to tell it
[D]Ca[D/C#]n't e[D/C]ven [Bmb6]give [G/F#]this [G]st[Em7]uff away, why would I sell it?
[D]Ev[D/C#]erybo[D/C]dy's[Bmb6] laug[G/F#]hing [G]wh[Em7]ile at me they point a finger
[D]A [D/C#]world[D/C] tha[Bmb6]t lov[G/F#]es it[G]s [Em7]irony must hate the protest singer
[D]So[G] I[Em7]'ll [A7]be leaving soon
[D]I'[G]ll[Em7] be [A7]leaving soon
[D]I'[G]ll[Em7] be [A7]leaving soon
[D]I'[G]ll[Em7] be [A7]leaving soon
