Aimless Desire / New Model Army (Strange Brotherhood)
———————————————————
[Intro]
|: G Em 😐 (guitar, effects)
[Bridge]
| G Em | Bb Em |
[Verse 1]
G(III) Em Bb Em
I was working shift on the six o’clock, quiet in the pale dawn.
G(III) Em
Found a bird caught in the machinery —
Bb Em
set it free and watched it go . . .
G(III) Em Bb C
Quit the job that very day, and flew into the sky
D Em D
just following after this aimless desire,
Em D Em D Em D
the awful desire, the aimless desire, worthless desire…
[Verse 2]
Now I’ve found causes and I’ve found families,
but nothing ever lasts;
I’ve known people I’d die for — if only they had asked.
Where I’m from is not my home, and neither’s where I’m bound;
Just following after this aimless desire — worthless desire . . .
[Verse 3]
So tonight, beneath the bridge where the fires burn,
God . . . take the freedom back, deliver me
from the aimless desire, the worthless desire . . .
And chimera she waits, and I have still got this hole in me;
still got this hole inside of me . . .
