This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse 2

Out in the battle, gunfire anew

Where does allegiance lie?

Sometimes when all of your hopes, all of your dreams

Are too much to value in one moment

And all of us anxious, but why hurry love?

History's here and now, oh...

And why are you waiting? Waiting for what?

The history of some love
