[Verse 1]
D    A            D     A
  No time to discuss it
Bm      F#m            G               A              D
  Can't speak when the waves reach our house upon the dunes
     A            D    A
Time cannot be trusted
         Bm     F#m        G      A        D
When the police come, they always come too soon
     A         D         A
Life felt like heaven today
       Bm      F#           G      A        D
Like a foreign car, though, we are American-made
  A           D          A
I thought I'd probably stay
      Bm     F#m        G        A
But before I know it, I know it
 
 
[Chorus]
   D         A        G          D
My Christian heart cannot withstand
    Bm      Em  A   D
The thundering arena
     D       A        G          D
I'll see you when the violence ends
    Bm          Em      A  D
For now, ciao ciao, Bambina
 
 
[Verse 2]
D    A            D     A
  No signs of injustice
Bm   F#m            G               A              D
  No signs, but the flames that are filling up the room
     A            D    A
Fire cannot be trusted
         Bm      F#m        G      A        D
When the engines come, they always come too soon

[Chorus]
   D         A        G          D
My Christian heart cannot withstand

     D       A        G          D
I'll see you when the violence ends
    Bm          Em      A  D

   D         A        G          D

I'll see you when the violence ends

For now, ciao ciao, Bambina

This is great! Now all we need is an intro tab...

I think the F# in "Like a foreign car" should be major because Ezra sings an A# in "car" instead of a natural A It is the only time he does it in the song

Tried my hand at tabbing out the instrumental. Sounds pretty close to me, definitely not perfect. Let me know if you think there should be any changes.
