E       G#m
Hey Gloria
          A                   E
Are you standing close to the edge?
E                G#m
Look out to the setting sun
A                  B
The brink of your vision

Eternal youth is
The landscape of a lie
The cracks of my skin can prove
As the years will testify

C#m                   G#m
Say your prayers and light a fire
A                       E  B/D#
We're going to start a war
C#m             G#m
Your slogan's a gun for hire
A             B
It's what we waited for

Hey Gloria
This is why we're on the edge
The fight of our life's been drawn to
This undying love

Chorus:
  E               G#m
Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
C#m
You blast your name
        A
In graffiti on the walls
Am
Falling through broken glass that's
  E         B          C#m
Slashing through your spirit
A                             B
I can hear it like a jilted crowd

Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
You found a home
In all your scars and ammunition
You made your bed in salad days
amongst the ruins
Ashes to ashes of our youth

E                G#m           C#m
She smashed her knuckles into winter (Gloria!)
A            E                B
As autumn's wind fades into black
E          G#m              C#m
She is the saint of all the sinners  (Gloria!)
A               E                  B
The one that's fallen through the cracks

          A             B
So don't put away your burning light

Chorus:
Gloria! Where are you, Gloria?
Don't lose your faith
To your lost naivety
Weather the storm and don't look
Back on last November
When your banners were burning down

Gloria! ¡Viva La Gloria!
Send me you amnesty down
To the broken hearted
Bring us the season
That we always will remember
Don't let the bonfires go out

     A  E
So Gloria,
A              E        A
Send out your message of the light
       E             B
That shadows in the night
A    E A                E
Gloria, where's your undying love?
A             E            B
Tell me the story of your life
      E
Your life!
