Helicopters

Barenaked Ladies

 DGEm7A7
 This is where the children used to play
 DGEm7A7
 This is only half a mile away from the attack
 DGEm7A7
 This is where my life changed in a day; and then it changed back
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GEm7
 Buried in the din of rotor noise and close explosions
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GA7
 do my best to synthesize the sounds and my emotions

 DGEm7A7
 This is where the allies bombed the school, they say by mistake
 DGEm7A7
 Here nobody takes me for a fool, just for a fake
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GEm7
 Later at the hotebar, the journalists are waiting
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GA7
 hurry back to mguitar while they're commiserating

 DGEm7A7
 AnI'll be leaving soon
 DGEm7A7
 I'll be leaving soon

 DGEm7A7
 Just as soon as we were on the ground, we were back in the jet
 DGEm7A7
 Just another three-day foreign tour we'd never forget
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GEm7
 It's hard to sympathize with all this devastation
 DD/C#Bmb6G/F#GA7
 Hopping 'round from site to site like tourists on vacation

 DGEm7A7
 AnI'll be leaving soon
 DGEm7A7
 I'll be leaving soon

 DD/C#D/CBmA7
 can't help anyone, 'cause everyone's so cold
 DD/C#D/CGm6/BbBm
 Everyone's so skeptical of everything they're told
 Cadd9G/BGm6/BbA7
 And even I get sick of needing to be sold

 DGEm7A7
 Though it's only half a month away, the media's gone
 DGEm7A7
 An entertaining scandal broke today, but I can't move on
 DD/C#D/CBmb6G/F#GEm7
 I'm haunted by a storand I do my best to tell it

 DD/C#D/CBmb6G/F#GEm7
 Can't even give this stuff away, why would I sell it?
 DD/C#D/CBmb6G/F#GEm7
 Everybody's laughing while at me they point a finger
 DD/C#D/CBmb6G/F#GEm7
 world that loves itirony must hate the protest singer

 DGEm7A7
 So I'll be leaving soon
 DGEm7A7
 I'll be leaving soon
 DGEm7A7
 I'll be leaving soon
 DGEm7A7
 I'll be leaving soon
