The Band Played On

G D C I buried myself in sunshine Em C I had to break through the clouds G D C so I played happy pop songs Em C and turned them up way too loud Am C and yes I got a bit sunburned Am D but it's a victory I earned Em D/F# G so what else are we gonna do? Em Am we can't give up just 'cause the bastards won Em D/F# G I'm going down with the ship and they'll say C D C the band played on, the band played on D G the band played on and the band played on G D C we should've sounded the alarm much sooner Em C 'cause we held on too long G D C thinking things were gonna turn a corner Em C it looks like we were wrong Am C 'cause we were seeing things for what they weren't Am D and that's a lesson we gotta learn Em D/F# G so what else are we gonna do? Em Am we can't give up just 'cause the bastards won Em D/F# G I'm going down with the ship and they'll say C D C the band played on, the band played on D C the band played on and the band played on D Em the band played on and the band played on Em D/F# G Em Am Em D/F# G C D Am C and I don't care if my back's against the wall Am D I'm coming at 'em like a cannonball Em D/F# G so what else are we gonna do? Em Am we can't give up just 'cause the bastards won Em D/F# G I'm going down with the ship and they'll say C D C the band played on, the band played on D C the band played on and the band played on D C the band played on and the band played on D the band played on and the band played
