R.E.M. - World Leader Pretend: chords

D            G
I sit at my table
C         D
and wage war on myself
    G              C
It seems like it's all,
              D
it's all for nothing
D           G
I know the barricades,
C               D
and I know the mortar in the wall breaks
   G
I recognize the weapons,
C D
I used them well

Chorus:
Em
This is my mistake.
Bm
Let me make it good
Em
I raised the wall,
    Bm                               G A
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

Am             C
Reach out for me
     Am                       C
and hold me tight. Hold that memory
          Am
Let my machine talk to me.
     C          G        A
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 raised the walls
that I've constructed

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

You fill in the mortar,
you fill in the harmony
You fill in the mortar,
I raised the wall
And I'm the only one,
I will be the one to knock it down
