Blaze of Glory - The Alarm
Words & Music by Macdonald, Peters & Sharp
As heard on Declaration by The Alarm,
and the "Red album" Acoustic Works 1981-1986 by Mike Peters
(Capo 1st fret)
It's funny how they shoot you down
When your hands are held up high
And you open up your heart and soul
But that's not enough for most
I remember this much
There is nothing
You shouldn't speak of
If you've got something to say
And there's no one
To be scared of
Just get them out of the way
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
My heart is open wide
*
You can take anything that you want from me
there is nothing left to hide
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
my hands are held up high
*
I'm learning how to hit back
I'm learning how to fight
(repeat)
The law of the jungle says
You look after yourself
But I remember this much
I love as I've been loved myself
Don't forget what I told you now
When the question keeps on coming
And it's How much more can you take
When they've ripped your clothes to pieces
Shouldn't you be gone by now
But you keep on
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
Setting your sights for the sky
*
They can offer you anything at all
But your dreams must not be sold
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
No price is high enough
*
I'm fighting back with feeling
I'm fighting back with love
When the nails are biting into your hands
And the cross is heavy on your heart
Now is the time to really make a stand
MY HANDS ARE HELD UP HIGH
(instrumental)
GOING OUT IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
(repeat)
