Chords

[Intro]

[F#m] [D] [Bm]

[Verse 1]

[F#m]Here there is no future, [D]here there is no time

[Bm]Here you're moving backwards with your fingers on rewind

[F#m]A place where there is money, [D]a place where there is greed

[Bm]To bring us all together as a happy family

[F#m]Maybe that's the answer, [D]maybe we're machines

[Bm]Maybe we were meant to live out other people’s dreams

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bm]But I don't think that [D]I am ready to [F#m]live out my own life

[Bm]And I don't think I know the [D]balance

Between what is wrong and [F#m]right

[Chorus]

And [F#m]here we [D]are, this [Bm]ordinary life

We've [F#m]come this [D]far, but [Bm]nothing turned out right

We [F#m]stand, and we [D]march, we [Bm]all walk the same line

We are the [F#m]army of a [D]nation, the [Bm]army of a nation, yeah

[F#m]Americana's [D]vacation, we are the [Bm]army of a nation

[Verse 2]

[F#m]How can you see the difference [D]when everyone's the same?

[Bm]And everything you know is just the price you choose to pay

[F#m]And if you wanna go there, [D]I hope you wanna stay

[Bm]'Cause once they let you in you find that there is no escape

[F#m]I think I see the difference; [D]that everyone's the same

[Bm]The only alteration, only with another name

[Pre-Chorus]

[Bm]But I don't think that [D]I'm ready to [F#m]live out my own life

[Bm]But I don't think I know the [D]balance

Between what is wrong and [F#m]right

[Chorus]

And [F#m]here we [D]are, this [Bm]ordinary life

We've [F#m]come this [D]far, but [Bm]nothing turned out right

We [F#m]stand, and we [D]march, we [Bm]all walk the same line

We are the [F#m]army of a [D]nation, the [Bm]army of a nation, yeah

[F#m]Americana's [D]vacation, we are the [Bm]army of a nation

[Bridge]

[F#m]This ordinary [D]life, this ordinary [Bm]life, this ordinary life

[F#m]This ordinary [D]life, this ordinary [Bm]life, this ordinary life

[F#m]This ordinary [D]life, this ordinary [Bm]life, this ordinary life

[Chorus]

And [F#m*]here we [D*]are, this [Bm*]ordinary life

We've [F#m*]come this [D*]far, but [Bm*]nothing turned out right

We [F#m]stand, and we [D]march, we [Bm]all walk the same line

We are the [F#m]army of a nation
