[Verse 1]
C G D Em
The satellites are raining down
Bm C
On the international room
G D G
There's nothing secret, nothing sacred anymore
C G D Em
All the soldiers of the world are turning
Bm C
History around
G D G
They're with me now, they're breaking down the door

[Verse 2]
C G D Em
One mother's daughter has seen her brothers
Bm C
Taken to the shadowlands
G D G
Now she's waiting for six soldiers to return
C G D Em
And another mother's daughter 's down
Bm C
On channel twenty one
G D G
Where she's opened up her life to let it burn

[Chorus]

Pictures in a room
C Em C
I can't take it anymore
G C Em D G G
And I can't sing the pains of hope in a torn... world

Big songs of hope and cheer

miles across the snow

And there's nothing that this stunning world can do

Pictures in a room
C Em C
I can't take it anymore

And the satellites are raining down
Bm C
On a Sunday afternoon

She's opened for the world to take it all

Where we face our sweetest demons in the hands
Bm C
Of flesh and love
G D G
She's aching at the stations of the fall

[Chorus]
G Em
Pictures in a room
C Em C
I can't take it anymore
G C Em D G G
And I can't sing the pains of hope in a torn... world

Pictures in a room

Somebody help me please

Cause I can't sing the pains of hope in a strange... place
