E*          D*
Shake hands break hearts
   F#*
In Rotterdam
       E*    D*        F#*
What's next around the bends
  E*        D*   F#*
I choose to sing rather than
   E*       D*      F#*
To join the hateful men

[Chorus]
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 2]
   E      D
Battle regret
  F#m
Escape the damned
    E         D      F#m
Our love's mistaken for
     E          D
Breakdown build up
   F#m
In Rotterdam
  E     D      F#m
A never ending war

[Chorus 1]
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh

E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh

[Verse 3]
 E      D
Enough enough
   F#m
Oh Rotterdam
      E    D         F#m
Don’t be afraid this town
     E           D
Will take what’s yours
   F#m
Oh Rotterdam
   E          D     F#m
It gives this time around

[Chorus 1]
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh

E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh
E   D   F#m
ooh ooh ooh

[Bridge]
E
Wake up the dead
         D                   F#m
We'll be heading towards the light
E                D                   F#m
Resurrect me and keep me oh keep me alive

E
Wake up the dead
         D                   F#m
We'll be heading towards the light
E              D                F#m
Keep it coming keep it coming alright

[Chorus 2]
E      D      F#m
Rotter Rotter dam
E      D      F#m
Rotter Rotter dam

[Outro]
      E           D         F#m
Shake hands break hearts in Rotterdam
       E     D         F#m
What's next around the bends
