F#m           C#m
Short back and sides
Bm           E
Dinner plate eyes blown wide
F#m            C#m                 Bm
Pigeon chested young man and brother
E                F#m
Steps out of a tomb
    C#m          Bm
Of toxicity and ruin
         E                F#m
Spends his money on cheap wine

C#m  Bm  E


[Pre-Chorus]
          A         Bm        E
Hold me, I'm only a moment away
          A         Bm        E
Hold me, I'm only a moment away


[Chorus]
  E               C#m
The dogs on the street
                       Dm
Sing your pains as the heat
                               C#m
Saps the sweat from your skin
                         Dm
The war is nearly done man
                             F#m  C#m  Bm  E
Are you ready for the healing?
                             F#m  C#m  Bm  E
Are you ready for the healing?


[Verse]
F#m
Shaken by his surname
Bm
Succinct
F#m                       Bm
Waiting in the wings, we watched
            F#m
Your face frozen like the hands of
           Bm
Clery's Clock, stopped
   A
The war is nearly done
       Bm
Are you ready for the healing?
 F#m
I'm Billy no mates
 Bm
Standing at the school gates
F#m                      Bm
I spy a poster for the French Foreign Legion
F#m                             Bm
Gonna join the ranks with my grandfather's blade
F#m
With my beacon and my brush
Bm
New tattoo and my limp
F#m                       Bm
Oh, Julianne, with your eyes of opals
F#m                      Bm
The heirs spat at you, just for being open
F#m
A bastion of youth in a world that's
Bm
Ripped right open
E (once)
Softly spoken Youth Brigade


[Pre-Chorus]
E            A       Bm       E
Hold me, I'm only a moment away
             A       Bm       E
Hold me, I'm only a moment away
             A       Bm       E
Hold me, I'm only a moment away


[Chorus]
                  C#m
The man on the street
                      Dm
Lets the air at his feet
                                 C#m
Somebody dies, a child gets born
                          Dm
The war is nearly done man
                              F#m  C#m  Bm  E
Are you ready for the healing?
                              F#m  C#m  Bm  E
Are you ready for the healing?

F#m  C#m  Bm  E
F#m  C#m  Bm  E
