F#     Bm7
F#     E9sus4/B
F#
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#         C#          D#m
Trying to pantomime surprise
Fdim     A#               B
After we buried you at sunrise
     B                G#m           F#
With nothing you'd predicted coming true
     F#              A#                B
Just doing what we'd promised you we'd do
B            G#m    G#7
Not ready anymore
             C#
Late for the war
 
 
[Chorus]
    F#                G#7                  B
Who would prepare for peace, take up the sword
B               C#            F#
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#         C#               D#m
Even if we found the world again
Fdim         A#                 B
Haircuts and clean clothes, and what then:
B             G#m                  F#
Sew ourselves clean back into the fold?
F#               A#                   B
Remember 'til we don't, and then grow old?
B            F#      G#m
Not ready to go that way
G#7                       C#
What would our old friend say?
 
 
[Chorus]
F#                    G#7               B
Who goes without will find some great reward
B               C#            D#m
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
 
 
[Bridge]
D#7                    B
And even if they never come (Even if they never come)
B                F#    G#7               C#
Stay here by the fire, listening for the drum

F#     Gmaj7b5
F#     Bm7
F#     E9sus4/B
F#     E9sus4/B

F#     E9sus4/B
 
 
[Verse 3]
F#                   C#    D#m
In the world but not of it anymore
Fdim        A#                B
Starving to death down by the shore
B           G#m                F#
Prehistoric insects trapped in ice
F#          G#7              B
Letting the hunger claim its price
B          D#m               G#m
Sixteen to three now down to two
G#7                 C#
Soon, it'll just be you
 
 
[Chorus]
F#        G#7              B
Raise the flag and cut the cord
F#   G#7                 B
All aboard that's going aboard (All aboard, all aboard)
B               C#            F#
Waiting for the armies of the Lord
