Pollyanna Frank - Escape Will Always Fail

      Am
I hear the next war coming
F
Awake all night-time, smell the blood
Am
The omens always tell me
F                           A
I try to listen, can’t decide …
Am
I rule out paranoia
F
Too simple, there must be a way
Am
To sympathise with danger
F                         A
And to know it’s here to stay

G#            Gm
But you can’t go far knowing
C
It will make you strong and pale
G#                    Gm
It’ll beat you up and give you nothing
C
And let you live only if you dare
G#                   Gm
Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow
C
It will hang on like a tail
G#                    Gm
Even drama queens and heroes know it
Am                 D#
Escape will always fail
Am                 D#
Escape will always fail
Am                 F
Escape will always fail ….

Am
The next war tries to like us
F
But it’s impossible I guess
Am
To sympathise with victims
F                         A      Em
Of our own arrogance and strength
A
I know the next war’s coming
F                              A
And in my daydreams it strikes hard

And all the voices say
F
You know now, we’re your shelter
A            Em  A
You’ve come back
             Em  A
You’ve come back
             Em
You’ve come back …


G#            Gm
But you can’t go far knowing
C
It will make you strong and pale
G#                    Gm
It’ll beat you up and give you nothing
C
And let you live only if you dare
G#                   Gm
Cross the swamps and bring your sorrow
C
It will hang on like a tail
G#                    Gm
Even drama queens and heroes know it
Am                 D#
Escape will always fail
Am                 D#
Escape will always fail
Am                 F
Escape will always fail ….
