Life During Wartime
Talking Heads
Key : A
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A | A | C | A | C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A 
C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
      A  A C  A     C  A      A    A  C    A
Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons,
A      A      C  A
Packed up and ready to go
      A  A    C     A     C A   A  A   C   A
Heard of some grave sites,  out by the highway,
A A           C A
A place where nobody knows
    A     A  C  A    C A   A  A   C  A
The sound of gunfire,  off in the distance,
A   A       C    A
I'm getting used to it now
      A  A C    A     C A     A  A C   A
Lived in a brownstone,  lived in a ghetto,
A    A         C A
I've lived all over this town

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
E
 This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
This ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
I ain't got time for that now

[Verse 2]
---------------------
     A   A   C  A    C A  A   A C  A
Transmit the message,  to the receiver,
A    A      C A
Hope for an answer some day
  A   A     C   A     C A A      A  C A
I got three passports,  a couple of visas,
A   A          C    A
You don't even know my real name
     A  A C   A    C A   A      A   C   A
High on a hillside,  the trucks are loading,
A A          C  A
Everything's ready to roll
  A     A      C  A    C A A    A      C    A
I sleep in the daytime,  I work in the nighttime,
A A         C A
I might not ever get home

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
E
 This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
This ain't no fooling around
This ain't no Mudd Club, or C. B. G. B.,
I ain't got time for that now

[Bridge]
---------------------
A | A | C | A | C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A 
C | A | A | A | C | A | A | A | C | A 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
      A A   C   A   C A     A A   C A
Heard about Houston?  Heard about Detroit?
A     A     C    A
Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
    A   A  C    A   C  A     A  A   C  A
You oughta know not to stand by the window
A   A    C   A
Somebody see you up there
  A   A    C  A      C A    A  A   C  A
I got some groceries,  some peanut butter,
A  A      C   A
To last a couple of days
      A     A      C   A    C A     A   A  C   A
But I ain't got no speakers,  ain't got no headphones,
A     A      C A
Ain't got no records to play

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
E
 Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
Gonna be different this time
Can't write a letter, can't send no postcard,
I ain't got time for that now

[Verse 4]
---------------------
     A  A  C   A   C A   A       A   C   A
Trouble in transit,  got through the roadblock,
A  A       C  A
We blended in with the crowd
   A   A  C A    C A     A  A    C     A
We got computers,  we're tapping phone lines,
A A         C    A
I know that that ain't allowed
   A     A    C  A     C A  A     A    C    A
We dress like students,  we dress like housewives,
A  A    C    A
Or in a suit and a tie
  A       A  C   A     C A  A A  C     A
I changed my hairstyle,  so many times now,
A A          C    A
I don't know what I look like!

[Outro (Fade Out)]
---------------------
    A    A  C  A   C A A    A  C  A
You make me shiver,  I feel so tender,
A  A      C   A
We make a pretty good team
      A   A C   A   C A    A  A    C   A
Don't get exhausted,  I'll do some driving,
A   A        C   A
You ought to get you some sleep
       A   A  C   A     C A    A    A   C   A
Burned all my notebooks,  what good are notebooks?
A    A     C    A
They won't help me survive
   A     A  C A    C A     A    A C  A
My chest is aching,  burns like a furnace,
A   A       C     A
The burning keeps me alive
