Send My Love To The System

	  		
verse 1 

  G 
I've been looking through some pictures 
That I found in my room 
      C 
Time machines take you back 
To the places you once knew 
       D 
And I remember all the things 
that I used to care about 
      C 
And I realised that they faded 
They don't matter to me now 

verse 2 

         G 
They are moments in a lifetime which I never understand 
       C 
Just a glance across the room 
Cigarette burnin' on my hand 
        D 
Just a second conversation on a sunday afternoon 
     C 
Or a kiss on a bridge 
After it's been raining in June 

Bridge 

    Em 
And maybe I got older 
    C 
And maybe I can't see 
                              D 
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free 

 
                        C 
So send my love to the system 
                      G 
Send my love to the system 


verse 3 

     G 
Well Playgrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school 
    C 
And exes look like angels 
The day before they fall 
         D 
You get caught up with the rose 
In the glasses on the wall 
          C 
And you remember what they look like 
And know what they will call 

verse 4 

              G 
And there was still a way you smile 
Some autumn monday morning 
          C 
They will hate you 
And they will rage you 
And they will punish you without warning 
         D 
And you search for signs of goodness 
And you search for signs of life 
             C 
Till you're standing on a stage 
And you're blinded by the lights 

Bridge 

     Em 
And maybe I got scared 
     C 
And gave in to the disease 
                               D 
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free 

 
                         C 
So send my love to the system 
                      G 
Send my love to the system 


Verse 5 

            G 
Where the morning's slowly coming 
As the pictures gathered dust 
         C 
As the light dances with chemicals 
But there is no need to rush 
          D 
We just sit here for a while 
Till we're ready to go back 
               C 
We stick our fingers up in times 
Till the horizon is getting fat 

Verse 6 

            G 
But I will take something with me 
Which I could never found 
             C 
If I'd have carried on going forwards 
In those directions we are bound 
      D 
So I thank you little photograph 
For giving me a sign 
         C 
Now I think I'll have to burn you 
Just in case you change your mind 

Bridge 

     Em 
And maybe I got older 
     C 
And gave up all my dreams 
                              D 
Or maybe I just realised that I want to be free 

 
                          C 
So send my love to the system 
                       G 
Send my love to the system 


Verse 7 

           G 
We're not leaving any doorways 
We're not losing any speed 
       C 
But if we die tomorrow 
At least we got what we need 
  D 
And you can carry on 
No I'm not judging you at all 
        C 
Takes us all different times 
To recover from school 

Verse 8 
       G 
If you ever get your empire 
I'm sure I'll shake your hand 
       C 
But I think I'll be content 
Drawing pictures in the sand 
       D 
And as for all these photographs lying on the floor 
        C 
Yes, I'll burn them in the morning 
'Cause I don't need them anymore 

Bridge 

     Em 
And maybe I will miss them 
     C 
In Time we will see 
                                  D 
But I think I just realise that I want to be free 

 
                         C 
So send my love to the system 
                      G 
Send my love to the system 
                      C 
Send my love to the system 
                      G 
Send my love to the system
