   verse 1 
    C    G         D       Em 
The satellites are raining down 
       Bm            C 
On the international room 
        G               D                 G 
There's nothing secret, nothing sacred anymore 
        C  G            D            Em 
All the soldiers of the world are turning 
Bm       C 
History around 
        G            D                         G 
They're with me now, they're breaking down the door 


   verse 2 
    C        G            D            Em 
One mother's daughter has seen her brothers

Taken to the shadowlands

Now she's waiting for six soldiers to return

And another mother's daughter 's down 
Bm                C 
On channel twenty one 
            G             D              G 
Where she's opened up her life to let it burn 


G             Em 
Pictures in a room

I can't take it anymore 
            G        C        Em        D       G     G 
And I can't sing the pains of hope in a torn... world

Hits and hooks and riffs that shine as new 
       C        G        D        Em 
As the refugees come in, live and dying, 
Bm               C 
miles across the snow 
            G                 D                  G 
And there's nothing that this stunning world can do

I can't take it anymore 
            G        C        Em        D       G     G

She's opened for the world to take it all 
      C       G            D      Em 
Where we face our sweetest demons in the hands 
Bm           C 
Of flesh and love 
      G             D               G 
She's aching at the stations of the fall

I can't take it anymore
