Don't bother me with tales of Argentina

I've heard my fair share before

Don't bother me unless you really need to

I'm not amused anymore

You can despise me, there's no need to criticize me

I'm known as Vincent Moon

An Irish guerilla living in Southern villa

Knew the shape of the sword too soon

I am taking to the skyways

I'm not here to join the IRA 
  Dm         Bb               F 
A story will rise up from the rubble 
    Bb         C                       F      A7 
But through my words, the meaning is betrayed 
  Bb       F            Bb            F 
A terrible traitor on a transatlantic freighter 
Dm              Bb 
Scars can't be erased 
    Bb           Am             Gm              F

When I carry my guilt on my face

Treachery is foreign, but peace is all too boring 
   Dm              Bb 
To let it last for long 
    Bb            Am           Gm          F 
And when you're a coward, your very finest hour 
   Dm                 A  A7 
Is when you do what's wrong 

Chorus

She'll catch me when I, catch me when I
