Peter said to Paul
           C        Csus2     C    Csus2 C Csus2
'you know all those words we wrote
              C           Csus2
Are just the rules of the game
         C             Csus2     C  Csus2 C Csus2
and the rules are the first to go"
        Am                       F                   C Csus2 C Csus2
But now talkin' to God is Laurel beggin' Hardy for a gun
        Am                     F                      C Csus2 C Csus2
I gotta girl in the war, man I wonder what it is we done

C                 Csus2
Paul said to Peter
           C        Csus2     C    Csus2 C Csus2
"You gotta rock yourself a little harder;
            C          Csus2
Pretend the dove from above
        C                 Csus2     C  Csus2 C Csus2
Is a dragon and your feet are on fire"
            Am                         F                   C Csus2 C Csus2
And I got a girl in the war, Paul the only thing I know to do

        Am                    F                      C Csus2 C Csus2
Is turn up the music and pray that she makes it through

C                           Csus2
Because the keys to the kingdom 
    C         Csus2     C    Csus2 C Csus2
Got locked inside the kingdom
          C                  Csus2
And the angels fly around in there, 
       C         Csus2     C  Csus2 C Csus2
But we can't see them
            Am                      F                          C Csus2 C Csus2
And I gotta girl in the war, Paul I know that they can hear me yell
        Am                     F                      C Csus2 C Csus2
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
        Am                     F                      C Csus2 C Csus2
If they can't find a way to help her, they can go to Hell
