World Leader Pretend (R.E.M.)

Artist: R.E.M.Copyright: R.E.M.GoChords.com

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

It seems like it's all, it's all for nothing

I know the barricades,

And I know the mortar in the wall breaks

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

I've a rich understanding of my finest defenses

I proclaim that claims are left unstated,

I demand a rematch

I decree a stalemate

I divine my deeper motives

I recognize the weapons

I've practiced them well. I fitted them myself

(chorus)

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize, empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the wall and I will be the one to knock it down

Reach out for me and hold me tight. Hold that memory

Let my machine talk to me, let my machine talk to me

/D/ This is /G/ my world
And /C/ I am /D/ world leader pretend
This is /G/ my life
/C/ And this is my /D/ time
I have been /G/ given the /C/ freedom
To /D/ do as I see fit
It's /G/ high time I /C/ razed the walls
That /D/ I've constructed

/Em/ It's amazing what devices /Bm/ you can sympathize .. empathize
/Em/ This is my mistake. /Bm/ Let me make it good
/Em/ I raised the walls; and /Bm/ I will be the one to knock it /G/ down /A/

/Em/ You fill in the mortar. /Bm/ You fill in the harmony
/Em/ You fill in the mortar. /Bm/ I raised the wall
/Em/ And I'm the only one
/Bm/ I will be the one to knock it /G/ down /A/

(end on Em)

Anmerkung: Ich spiele das Em in diesem Song gern mit offener E-Saite.
