| G | Em | |
| So men are still at war in | this land |
| G | Cadd9 | |
| For certain songs and | certain dates |
| Am7 | D | |
| The tender gave way to the | firebrand |
| Cadd9 | B7 | |
| And Europe gave way to the | States |
| G | Em | |
| So now that money's all but | scentless |
| F | Cadd9 | |
| Noses and consciences are | clear |
| Am7 | D | |
| The pointless flowers can be | dispensed with |
| G | |
| To see a friend in | tears |
| G/F# | Em | |
| So our defeats are just | reminders |
| Em/D | Cadd9 | |
| Of death that waits behind it | all |
| Am7 | D | |
| The body wilts before the | mind does |
| Cadd9 | B7 | |
| Surprised to see how soon it | falls |
| G | Em | |
| It's true our women have | deceived us |
| F | Cadd9 | |
| All hunted species | disappear |
| Am7 | D | |
| It's true we've shot the golden | eagles |
| G | |
| To see a friend in tears |
| It's true our cities are exhausted |
| Made by and for the middle aged |
| Our weakness gave them more than force did |
| We thought that love could cure a toothache |
| And in the underground we're drowning |
| Accelerating through the years |
| You think you'll find the truth by frowning |
| To see a friend in tears |
| It's true our mirrors don't show heroes |
| We lack the courage to be Jews |
| Without the elegance of Africa |
| With our youthful fireworks all defused |
| And all these men who are our brothers |
| Wonder why we don't want to hear |
| How their worst enemies are their lovers |
| To see a friend in tears |
| G | Em | C | Am7 | D | B7 | F | G/F# |

| There's a little run here and there, say from |
| Cadd9 to Am7, but these are the basics. Enjoy. |
