A Silent Army In The Trees Chords

  			

Intro/filler: F#/A A  (listen to get # of reps) 

Verse: 
F#/A 
What will you find, where will you be 
when you gotta trade for company 
     A 
Those plastic guns and infantry 
for a silent army in the trees? 
          F#/A 
Well this ain't the woods behind the house 
there ain't nobody screaming out 
    A 
for you to come inside and eat 
You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed 
     F#/A 
Wore camouflage on Halloween, 
a plastic bag, an M-16 
 A 
Door to door and house to house 
but ain't nobody handing it out 
     F#/A 
Yeah nothing's ever what it seems 
when you're kicking in teeth and wishing it dreams 
A 
Just plastic guns and infantry 
for a silent army in the trees 

verse 2: F#/A A 
Now baby don't you let me down 
a world away and still somehow 
Can't shake the feeling that you're out 
With another man's arms wrapped tight around you 
At night it's cold, we sit and freeze 
running red lights in our Humvees 
Never thought I'd live to see the day I'd be 
afraid of little kids playing in the streets 
Well this ain't the woods behind the house 
There ain't nobody screaming out 
for you to come inside and eat 
You're just holding your friends and watching them bleed 

Bm  A F#/A 
I'm on fire 
Bm       A  F#/A 
But all ice on the outside 
Bm       A   F#/A 
That old man in the sky 
          Bm  A   F#/A 
Well he's all ice on the outside 

Rhythm Solo: A F#/A 


verse 3: F#/A A 
A muted whale out in the streets 
You watch the stage but burn the seats 
Two metal legs to get along 
You ain't got much without one to stand on 
Sometimes at night I hear it roll 
A hundred cars long pulling out slow 
Like the engineers inside my head 
Cold and dark like your side of the bed 
Yeah nothing's ever what it seems 
And even if it is ends justify means 
With plastic guns and infantry for a silent army in the trees 

Bm  A F#/A 
I'm on fire 
But all ice on the outside 
That old man in the sky 
Well he's all ice on the outside
