The Empire Strikes First (2004)

(gros drum)  x 4

A5A5xxD5D5xxC5C5 G5 C5G5  x 4

We strike first
And we're unrehearsed
Here we go again to stage the greatest show on heaven and earth      (G/B C G/B)
Come on, get your money's worth

              A5
  Don't wanna live (can't live)
              C5
  Don't wanna give (can't give)
              F5
  Don't wanna be (won't be)
    D5  E5  (A5)
  E-M-P-I-R-E

  (Can't live)
  Don't wanna live (can't give)
  Don't wanna be (won't be)
  E-M-P-I-R-E

A5A5xxD5D5xxC5C5 G5 C5G5  x 2

We're comin' on fast
And we're built to last
We struggled once in 'Nam now we're glad to finally say those days have passed
Tell me how long can it last

A5 (P.M.)

*Well, we spit and we're cursed                             (basse)
And our breathing hearts burst*
But even ten million souls marching in February couldn't stop the worst
C-C-C-C-Couldn't reverse                                    ( a < )

  Refrain

  (Can't live)
  (Can't give)
  (Won't be)

  Don't wanna live (can't live)
  Don't wanna live (can't give)
  Don't wanna be (won't be)

  I can't live
  If it isn't with you
  
  (Can't live)
  (Can't give)
  (Won't be)
  (E-M-P-I-R-E)

  Don't wanna live (Can't live)
  Don't wanna live (Can't give)
  Don't wanna be (Won't be)
  (E-M-P-I-R-E)
