Written In Anger

Em D Em D Em Hammersmith underpass, 7 p.m. Em Amongst all the drunkards and legions of men C D G Em A troubadour playing a song for the boys C D G Em Busking a chorus, he silenced the noise C D A melody everyone heard C D That somehow left people disturbed Em Crossing through town as the riots began Em The young man retires to an old Bedford van C D G Em His mattress is laid like a courtesan's bed C D G Em The angst that he feels running wild in his head C D His voice and his heart could be heard C D Like a fire to ravage the world G D Em In the song I had written with anger C D And words I had spoken them true G D Em C But their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings D Or my point of view Em The fire in the furnace is sucked to its height Em As the young man becomes a success overnight C D G Em Filling out stadiums, grand concert halls C D G Em Whilst strangely around him was torture and war C D Blissfully so unaware C D That the source of destruction was there G D Em In the song I had written with anger C D And words I had spoken them true G D Em C But their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings D Or my point of view C G So look to yourself C G And find your own way C G D/F# Em D If bitterness climbs in- side it forms tidal waves C D G D/F# Em Let the last of your lines falter before they're defined C D Em Let the last of your words be kind Em D Em D Em Trying to bring the old man back to life Em His body is weak and no longer survives C D G Em The source of his anger replaced now with calm C D G Em Some might believe he can do us no harm C D But trauma will always be heard C D As his message devours the world G D Em In the song I had written with anger C D And words I had spoken them true G D Em C But their meaning, it barely resembles the feelings D Or my point of view C G So look to yourself C G And find your own way C G D/F# Em D If bitterness climbs in- side it forms tidal waves C D G D/F# Em Let the last of your lines falter before they're defined C D Em Let the last of your words be kind C D Em Let the last of your words be kind Em D Em D Em D Em D Em
