[B]
[A] [B]
The [A] war was [D] lost, the [B] treaty signed, I was not caught, I crossed the line, I was not
caught, though many tried, I [A] live among [D] you, [B] well disguised, [F#m] I had to leave my life [B] behind,
I dug some graves you'll never find, the stories told, [D] with [B] facts and lies, I [A] have a name,
[D] but [Bm] never mind, never mind, never mind, the war was lost, the treaty signed, there's truth
that lives and truth that [Bm] dies, I don't know [F#m] it, so [G] never mind, [Bm] [A] [Bm]
your [A] [Bm]
[B] [C#] victory [D] was [B] so complete,
some among [A] you [B] thought to keep a record [A] of [D] our little [B] lives, the clothes we [A] wore, [D] our [B] spoons,
our knives, the games of luck, our soldiers played, the stones we cut, [D] the [B] songs we made,
our [A] love piece, [D] [B] which understands, [A] a husband leads, [Bm] a wife commands, and all of this, expressions
of the sweet indifference, some call love, the high [D] indifference, some call [Bm] fate, but
we had names more intimate, [A] names so deep [D] and [Bm] names so true, [D] their blood to me, their
[B] dust to you,
[Bm] there [A] is no need, [D] that [Bm] this survive, there's [D] truth that lives and [Em] truth that dies,
[Bm] never mind, never mind, I live the life [G] I left behind, [Bm] there's truth that lives and [A] truth that dies,
[Bm] I don't know [F#m] it, so [Em] never mind,
[Bm]
[B] I could [A] not kill [D] the way you kill, [B] I could not hate, [D] [B] I tried, I failed, you turned [A] me in,
[D] [B] at least you tried, you [A] side with them [D] whom [B] you despise, [Bm] this was your heart, this swarm of flies,
this was once your mouth, this bowl of lies, you serve them well, I'm not surprised,
you're of their [D] kin, [Bm] you're of their kind, never mind, never mind, I had to leave my life behind,
the stories told, with facts and lies, you own the [F#m] world, so [G] never mind, [Bm] never mind,
never mind, I live the life [E] I left behind, [Bm]
I live it full, I live it wide, through layers of time,
you [Em] can't divide,
[Bm] my woman's here, my children too, their graves are safe from ghosts like you,
in places deep, with roots inclined, I live [Em] the [D] life I left [Em] behind,
[B] the war [A] was lost, [B] the treaty signed,
I was not caught, [D] I crossed the line, I was not caught, [E] though many tried, I live [D] among you, well disguised,
