How Its Going To Be Cifras

[Intro]
C  G  C  G
C  Am  G  C
 
[Verse 1]
C                             G
   Across the city steam and light
       C                          G
Off a runway to the manufactured night
C                              Am
   In storybooks you’ll never find
Bm                            Em
   In paper armor that you’d mind
C                                      Am
   They’ll hold the match to you this time
                                    G
And watch the smoke rings fit the crime
 
[Verse 2]
C                            G
   In moments you cannot reprise
        C                                 G
Like a soldier or a watch that you can’t wind 
C                                        Am
   We fought the world with hands twice-tied
Bm                                  Em
   The people cheered, the captain cried
C                          Am
   I’ll keep the souvenir inside
                        G
It’s just better in my mind
 
[Chorus]
    Em         Bm
And I wouldn’t lie
   G
I never really wanted more
                         Em
Than what I ever really needed after all 
                             G
Someone that hates to see me go
 
[Verse 3]
C                               G
   You made a promise then you hide
         C                               G
And you said we’d all be dead by twenty-five 
C                              Am
   It’s not your disappointed sigh
Bm                               Em
   It’s not you traded this for pride
C                           Am
   Not that we really even mind
            G
We’re just bored, you’re still alive
 
[Bridge]
    Em         Bm
And I wouldn’t lie
   G             C
If I tried, take me down
       Am    D        G
And if I... die here now
 
D   Em    Em   C - D
G   F#m   Em   C - D
 
[Outro]
 G                                 D
Wishing wells and magic spells and everything between
Em
Can you tell me what it’s like?
    C   D    C    D  G
Or how it’s going to be?
