Mayday holi-day here in the sun
Dm   C  C# Dm               F

how it feels to be left out
Dm        Bb              C
  Another phantom foe for him
                  C
to fight while we sit here in doubt


[Chorus 3]
  Dm           F
I doubt if he ever thought
         C              Bb
he'd get half as far in life
  Dm           F
I wonder if he laughs about
   C                   Bb
it late night with his wife
  Dm            F
I wonder if she prays for
      C            Bb
every family torn apart
  Dm           F
I wonder if he burned their
       C
bodies she would eat their
Bb          Bb
hearts Dear Laura will you
eat our bleeding hearts?
