chorus:
[G]Your sword's grown [Em]old and rusty, [D]burnt beneath the [C]rising sun
[G]It's locked up [Em]like a trophy, [D]forgetting all the [C]things it's done
[G]And though it's [Em]been a long time, you're [D]right back where you [C]started from
[G]I see it [Em]in your eyes that [D]now youâ??re givin[C]g up the gun
verse 1:
[G]When I was 17, [Em]I had wrists like steel [D]and I felt com[C]plete
[G]And now my body fades [Em]behind a brass charade [D]and I'm obso[C]lete
[G]But if the chance remains [Em]to see those better days, [D]I'd cut the cannons [C]down
[G]My ears are blown to bits [Em]from all the rifle hits, [D]but still I crave that [C]
sound

verse 2:
[G]I heard you play guitar [Em]down at a seedy bar [D]where skinheads used to [C]fight
[G]Your Tokugawa smile [Em]and your garbage style [D]used to save the [C]night
[G]You felt the coming wave, [Em]told me we'd all be brave, [D]you said you wouldn't [C]
flinch
[G]But in the years that passed [Em]since I saw you last, [D]you haven't moved an [C]inch
