[Intro]
F#m
[Verse 1]
C Em F#m
I need city lights, defence and weaponry
C Em F#m
No way of knowing my life expectancy
C Em F#m
I learn resistance like I learn to see
C Em F#m
A living witness, a lonely refugee
[Chorus]
A F#m A E
I'm a war child
F#m A E
I'm a war baby
F#m A E
And that's the difference between you..
F#m A E
and me. I'm a war child
[Verse 2]
C Em F#m
My occupation is being occupied
C Em F#m
I stop at the corner to be identified
C Em F#m
Across the border, they pretend victory
C Em F#m
I'm playing in the rubble and dream of destiny
[Chorus]
A F#m A E
I'm a war child
F#m A E
I'm a war baby
F#m A E
And that's the difference between you..
F#m A E
and me. I'm a war child
