Bm This is the Ministry Of Defence Stairs and walls are all that's left Mortar holes let through the air Kids do the same thing everywhere Chorus: G D They’ve sprayed graffiti, in Arabic A F#/A# And balanced sticks, in human shit This is the Ministry Of Remains This is the Ministry Of Remains Fizzy drinks cans and magazines Fizzy drinks cans and magazines Chorus: Broken glass, a white jawbone Syringes, razors, a plastic spoon Human hair, a kitchen knife And the ghost of a girl who runs and hides E Bm Scratched in the wall in biro pen E 'This is how the world will end' There’s the bus depot to the right There’s the bus depot to the right Levelled like a building site Levelled like a building site Chorus: Those are the children's cries from the dark These are the words written under the arch Scratched in the wall in biro pen 'This is how the world will end' You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA A# D E G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
