D                   Am
Shiruetto ya kage ga kakumei o miteiru
G                               A# C
Mo tengoku no giyu no kaidan wa nai

Chorus:
 D                    Am
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
G                      A#   C
No more free steps to heaven
         D      Am  C    G   A
It's no game  (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

 D
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
 Am
Nani ga okkote irunoka wakara nai
 G
Doko ni kyokun wa arunoka hitobito wa yubi o orareteiru
 A#                                            C
Konna dokusaisha ni iyashime rareru nowa kanashii

Chorus:
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
And it's no game (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

Em
Documentaries on refugees
 A
Couples 'gainst the target
C                  G
You throw a rock against the road
         A
And it breaks into pieces
Em
Draw the blinds on yesterday,
         A
and it's all so much scarier
C            G
Put a bullet in my brain,
    A
and it makes all the papers

 E
Nammin no kiroku eiga
                       Bm
Hyoteki o se ni shita koibito tachi
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
              D
Kona gona ni kudake
   A
Kino ni huta o sureba
Kyohu wa masu
B
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
C                C#dim7
Shinbun wa kaki tateru

Chorus:
There's always tomorrow
when people have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists -
it's so degrading
And it's no game
