Chords for War Baby - Tom Robinson 1983

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [Ab] _
[A] _ Only the very [Bm] young and the very [D] beautiful can be so loose
[A] Hanging out with the boys, all [D] swagger and poise
[G] I don't even care what other people are there
I just [Bm] stare and stare and stare
[G] [Eb] See [Db] _
[B] your shadow in the swimming [A] pool
I [G] see your [D] face in the shaving mirror
Time and time and time again
[G] I follow your footsteps so quietly up [Em] the back stairs
And I hope and I pray you're never gonna find me [Bb] there
[Gbm]
Smooth [Bm] skin and tenderness long ago on a dark night
Wish I could see you [D] once again to remember that it was true
[G] I wanna be still beside you, quiet and still beside you
[E] Listen [Em] to your breathing, feeling your warmth [A] again _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Warblader, _ _
[D] _ you [A] were a _ [D] [G] warblader _
This means [A] _ _ [G] warblader
I'm scared, so [Ab] scared, [Em] whatever it is you [Ab] keep putting [B] me through _
I don't think I [Db] could stand another ten years of this fighting
[D] All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back
_ [G] I don't wanna bow to you, to your feet and knees and elbows
When I'm kneeling by [Em] the candle at the foot of my own [Cm] bed
[Gbm] _
[Bm] Corresponding disasters every night on the TV _ _
[D] Sickening reality keeps gripping me and it's got all [G] my thrills _
_ Laugh a lot I'm a-gettin' but [Em] like a nightmare it's still waitin' there
At the end of each and every [F] day
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Warblader, [D] _ _
you [A] were a _ [D] warblader
[G] This means [Em] _ _ [G] warblader
I'm scared, so [E] scared, whatever it is [C] you keep putting [Eb] me [A] through
I _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [A] _ _
don't think I could stand another ten years of this fighting
[D] All this stabbing and wounding, [Bm] only getting my own back
Later that same evening when [G] we were out in the car talking
[Em] I suddenly wondered who the hell it was we were trying to [C] fool
[A] Cause you were the first one I ever [Bm] wanted
[D] And it's you I come home to at the end of every day
[G] Like a sucking baby, _ demanding a soft helper
[Em] A little old balding man, all wrinkled and bulging [Eb] eyes
[A] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] Warblader, _ [A] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] warblader _
This means _ warblader
I'm scared, so [A] scared, [Em] whatever it is you [Eb] keep putting [Db] me through
[Gbm] You were a _ [Bm] warblader, naked [A] about the pepper
_ _ [D] Warblader, [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ warblader _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [A] _
