Weyes Blood - Children Of The Empire

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
Am7

[Verse 1]
Am7 G
Looking like some clear skies have finally opened up my eyes
Dm7 F/C
Livin’ in a lost time
G Dm7
The dawning of a brand new man
C Esus4 E
So much blood on our hands
Dm7
King and queen of being lonely
G Dm7 Am7
Children of the empire see that we’re all lost
G
There comes a cost walking in the labyrinth without love
Dm7 F/C
How much can you take?
G D
And when are you gonna be okay?
C Esus4 E
Gain control of what we made
Dm7
Instead of being afraid
G D F
Children of the empire say

[Chorus]
C
“We’re long gone
E
In that eternal flame
G
Trying to break away
F C Dm7
From the mess we made
F Dm Am7 E7 F
Oh, we don’t have time anymore to be afraid”

[Verse 2]
Am7 G
We tend to live long, that’s why so many things go wrong
Dm7
People selling their young blood
G D
I guess that’s the price you pay
C Em
Fake desire, but no one lives, oh
Am7
Won’t the fire burn our sin
G
Before we get a chance to love again?
Dm7 G D
Children understand that they pay for their sins
C Esus4 E
Seize control of what they made
Dm7
Before we all fade away
G Dm7 Ab6
Children of the empire wanna change

[Chorus]
C
‘Cause we’re long gone
E
In that eternal flame
G
Trying to break away
F C Dm7
From the mess we made
F Dm7 Gm Ab6
Oh, we don’t have time anymore to be afraid, anymore

F F+ Dm/F Bb

[Outro]
F F+ Bb Bbm
Children of the empire know
F F+
Know that they’re not free for long
Bb
They wanna be free
F F+
They know we’re not free, oh no
Bb Bbm
We wanna be free

F A Gm F
