Verse 1:
F G Em
Standing on the edge of
Am
the palisades cliffs
In the shadow of the
F G Em
skyline very far away
Am Dm
A lightning rod that couldn™t
pull the storm from me
F G
I was 5 years old my best
Am
friends older brother died
G
He fell from these cliffs
F
The river washed him away the
G Em
current pulled him downstream
Am
And our lives float in the
Dm F
headlines so we parked
Em
these cars Parent™s garage
Am
Listen to the lullaby
G F(hold)
Of Carbon Monoxide
Chorus 1:
F G Em Am
War all of the time
G/B C F
In the shadow of the New York skyline
G Em Am
We grew up too fast falling apart
G/B C F
Like the ashes of American flags
G
The sun doesn™t rise
Em
We replaced it with
Am
an h-bomb explosion
Dm F
A painted jail cell of blood in
Em
the sky like Three Mile Island
Am
Nightmares on TV they
G
used to sing us to sleep
F Em
They burn on and on like an oil field
Am Dm
Or a memory of what it felt like
F Em
To burn on and on and not just fade away
Am
All those nights in the basement
G
the kids are still screaming
F(Hold)
On and on and on and on
Chorus 2:
F G Em Am
War all of the time
G/B C F
In the shadow of the New York skyline
G Em Am
We grew up too fast falling apart
G/B C F
Like the ashes of American flags
Verse 2:
C Em Am Dm
And we™re blowing in the wind
F C
We don™t know where to land
Am Dm
So we kiss like little kids
F C
We used to be very tall buildings
Em Am Dm
We™ve been falling for so long
F
Now your eyes follow the
C Em
sign on the edge of town
Am
They offer a welcome
G F(hold)
when you are leaving
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Verse 3:
G
The pieces fall it™s
Am
like a last day parade
C
And the fires in our
F
streets start to rage
G
so wave, to the people
Em Am
that long to wave back
G/B C
from the fabric of a flag
F G Em Am G/B C F(hold)
that sang "love all of the time"
Interlude: F--Am--

War all the time

War all the time

All of the time

War all the time

All of the time
All of the time

War all of the time

War all of the time

War all of the time
F(hold)
all of the time
