F       C                 Dm            A7
Leaving all the world to play they disappear
F        C                    Dm               A
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer
F        C               Dm                A7
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn
F        C                     Dm               E
Mist surrounds the seagulls christened by the storm

Chorus:
D                                            G
Music, all I hear is music - guaranteed to please
       Em                A
And I look for something else
D                                                     G
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops Flowing in the drains
       Em                A
As the people run their lives
          Em               A
As their lives are run by time

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill
Death is easy as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead

Chorus - x3
