Scarecrows Cifras

[Verse 1]
Gmaj7
Although it's right to stay and fight
                            C
The two of us are not quite fortified
                       Am
With the battle of our lives on the horizon
   D7
Neophytes, we’re none the wiser
      Gmaj7
I can testify
            C
We won't survive
 
[Verse 2]
C
For are we
Gmaj7
Scarecrows or sentinels? Standing strong
            C
Or faux men nailed down to a pole?
                    Am
Will we ever grow a proper sense of panic
     D7
In a world so inorganic
      Gmaj7
Or do you suppose
               C
We're straw-filled clothes?
 
[Chorus]
        Am
For the way we were
        D7
Was the way we learned to live
            Gmaj7
We couldn’t give the things
         C
We never had to give
Am                          D7
But when we fall we might ascend
      Em  C Gmaj7 D7 Gmaj7  G7
And begin again
 
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7
Maybe alone we have no hope
                          F
But if we run and see the world left to it's own
                        Dm
Heaven knows that if we flee for our survival
            G7
Peace would leave on our arrival
          Cmaj7
Oh no, we left behind
              F
Our shameless minds
 
[Chorus]
        Dm
For the way we were
        G7
Was the way we learned to live
            Cmaj7
We couldn't give the things
         F
We never had to give
Dm                          G7
But when we fall we might ascend
      Am  F Cmaj7 G7 F
And begin again
 
[Bridge]
  E
Remember when you find my bones
  Am
Remember that I told you so
  Cmaj7
I told you so
  F
I told you so
    E
And when my ashes fall like snow
  Am
Remember that I told you so
  Cmaj7
I told you so
  F        Fm  Am  D
I told you so
 
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7
Though they've begun to load their guns
                                  C
As long as breath still fills the chambers of our lungs
                          Am
You will find us shouting truth as from a turret
       D7
See if faith can stop a bullet
          Gmaj7
Watch the broken rise
              Cmaj7
With stronger spines
 
[Verse 5]
Cmaj7
They're Lazarus, the last of us
                          F
The comatose, the dearest friends we ever lost
                         Dm
Lift your head and see a tree become a forest
      G7
Our duet becomes a chorus
          Cmaj7
Awake and feel the rush 
          F
Of your own blood
 
[Solo]
Dm G7 Cmaj7 F x2
 
[Chorus]
        Dm
For the way we were
        G7
Was the way we learned to live
            Cmaj7
We couldn't give the things
         F
We never had to give
Dm                         G
But when we fall we must ascend
      Am  F Cmaj7 G7
And begin again
