Drink before the war

Written by Sinéad O'Connor

	  		Am   G                  Am   G              
 You tell us that we're wrong 
Am           G               Am   G 
 You tell us not to sing our songs 
Am              G                 Am  Em 
 Nothing we can say will make you see 
Am                     Em                   Am  Em 
 You've got a heart of stone, you can never feel 
          Am           G                         Am Em 
You say, "Oh, I'm not afraid, it can't happen to me 
Am              Em        Am            Em 
 I believe that life is a good thing (?) 
   Am                     G                        Am  Em 
Oh no, you're out of your mind, it won't happen to me 
F                       G                      F           G 
 'Cause I've carried my weight and I've been a strong man" 
Am                  G                 Am    G 
Oh, I listen to the man in the liquor store 
Am                 G                Am   G 
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war? 
 
Am G Am 
 
Am    G                Am      G 
 Your parents paid you through 
Am                     G                    Am  G 
 You've got a nice big car, nothing bothers you 
Am                     G                   Am  Em 
 Somebody cut out your eyes, you refuse to see 
Am                        Em                   Am   Em 
Ah, somebody cut out your heart, you refuse to feel 
 
F                  G     F                    G 
 And you live in a shell, you create your own hell 
F                G                   Am  G 
 You live in the past and talk about war 
F                     G 
 And you dig your own grave, yeah 
F                           G 
 When it's a life you could save 
F                 G                    Am     G 
 So stop with the past, it's not gonna happen 
 
        Am                   G            
And you cry but you'll never fall 
      Am                    G 
No no no, you're building a wall 
Am               G           Am    Em 
 Got to break it down, start again 
Am            Em                     Am  Em 
 You say, "oh no, it won't happen to us" 
Am               Em                 Am        Em 
 We've lived our lives basically in goodness" 
 
F                   G                         F            G 
 So stop talking of war 'cause you know we've heard it all before 
F                     G                      Am     G 
 Why don't you go out there and do something useful? 
Am                       G                 Am    G 
Oh, I've listened to the man in the liquor store 
Am                 G                Am   G 
(?) Anybody want a drink before the war? 
Am              G                Am  Em 
 Anybody want a drink before the war 
Am                 Em               Am   Em 
Ah, anybody want a drink before the war? 
Am    G       Am G 
Yeah, yeah... 
 
Am G Am
