WORLD LEADER PRETEND

{between the Em and Bm chords play this ----

(D) -0-2-4-2-0- }

{intro Em Bm Em Bm Em Bm G A }

D G C D

I sit at my table and wage war on myself

D G C D

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

D G C

I know the barricades, and

D D

I know the mortar in the wall breaks

G C D

I recognize the weapons, I used them well

Em Bm

Em Bm

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

Em Bm G A

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

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...empathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

{I lose track of where the chords occur over the words. They just

switch between Am and C until the last part of this section...}

Am C Am C

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

Am C Am A G

Let my machine talk to me. Let my machine talk to me

This is my world

And I am the world leader pretend

This is my life

And this is my time

I have been given the freedom

To do as I see fit

It's high time I've razed the walls

That I've constructed

It's amazing what devices you can sympathize...emapathize

This is my mistake. Let me make it good

I raised the walls, and I will be the one to knock it down

You fill in the mortar. You fill in the harmony

You fill in the mortar. I raised the walls

And I'm the only one

I will be the one to knock it down

{end on Em}
