"Better Than Them" by New Model Army (from the album "No Rest For The Wicked") ============================================================================== transcribed by Juergen Bohn (nma@jjbohn.com) [Intro] Am [Verse 1] C Em This is our town, this is Friday night C Em dressed in our rags and our rage and our best A G piercing eyes looking for something, C C anything, just anyone.. C Em stare across the floors as they begin to dance C Em missing all the rythms and the chosen right steps A G and we laugh and we drink in our corner again C we're better than them... (we're better than them) C we're better than them... (we're better than them) [Verse 2] Divided we were born,divided we live divided we fall,yeah,divided we die still we tell ourselves over and over again we're better than them... (we're better than them) we're better than them... [Special] Em (C) Am With our hunger and our hatred Em we all walk this town C Am with our fear and our weakness Em just holding on C Am with our doubt and our emptyness Em and this cold,cold frown C Am we got to be so important Em we'll put the whole damn world down. [Verse 3] And we build the walls that we can hide behind and our finest weapon is our poisoned pride here in this town where the jealousies burn we're watching you... (we're watching you) and truth is only what we need it to be to bring us survival through each and every day where nowhere is safe and nowhere is home just be cool... (be cool) [Verse 4] C Em And what was she wearing and what did he say C Em who goes with who and what did they do? A G yeah, we tell ourselves over and over again C we're better than them (we're better than them) C we're better than them (we're better than them)....... --<>-- Sandro A.
