C 
If you loosen liable lips  
C 
You keep sinking all my ships  
Am                                   C 
Oh and youre the one who sank my Lusitania  
Am                              C 
But somehow it dont register as pain, at all  
G 
Till it finds our crooked vein 
F 
It should help 
F 
Oh lets not remember the name 

F 
Oh-oh-oh ooo  
F                         C 
You made lines along your shore 
F 
Oh no ooo  
F                                C 
Through my heart that ripped and tore

We dont study this war no more

C 
So we let our backbones slip 
C 
Till the arc spits from my fingertips  
Am                               C 
And well become a hazard in the rain 
Am                               C 
Boy well get charged out in the way 
G 
And theres a 60-cycle hum 
F                                            C 
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, theres no shame 
G 
Theres no shame 
F                                            C 
Go ahead, say something dumb boy, theres no shame 


F 
Oh-oh-oh ooo  
F                         C 
You laid mines along your shore 
F 
Oh no ooo  
F                                C 
Through my heart that ripped and tore 
F 
Oh ooo  
F                          G 
We dont study this war no more
