[Verse 1]
C Am
Brave, bottles crowd the ocean floor
F
Bound by rot, the scapegoats
C G
Of their salesmen on the shore
C Am F
Oh, the bastards of our natural war
C
They may have lost this time
G C
But no one's keeping score
[Verse 2]
C Am
Well courage straightens up its chin
F
Burns the maps and runs
C G
With upraised arms into the wind
C Am F
Oh, and fortune tears it limb from limb
C
Says "That bed looks warm
G C
But I'm not coming in"
Dm G Dm G
Ooh-ooh, Ooh-ooh
C G Am G F
Oooooooooooh
[Verse 3]
C Am
Oh, now charm still spars with misbelief
F
Till time has rung its bell
C G
And captained one to its knees
C Am F
Oh, more stubborn than an old oak tree
C G
And when she smiles she shows her teeth
[Verse 4]
C Am
And now havoc wreaks itself to sleep
F
Plunders tact and pride and sinks
C G
Its roots in far too deep
C Am F
And in this darkness only hate can see
C G
So keep your fires burning for me
[Outro]
Dm G
Thick skinned and never growing old
Dm G
Desire cries and tries to reason with your soul
C G Am G F
Saying I know what you need
C G Am G F
I could keep you company
C G Am G F
Greed grins eagerly
G C
Says it's goddamn easy being me
C Am
Brave, bottles crowd the ocean floor
F
Bound by rot, the scapegoats
C G
Of their salesmen on the shore
C Am F
Oh, the bastards of our natural war

They may have lost this time
