Verse 1
F#m          D6
Sent away to school
        G
We were taught to march and shoot
             Asus4
And take our discipline in teams
     F#m              Bm
They trained us to be hard
    Asus4
For cruelty and manhood
      A
Are synonymous it seems

Bridge
    F
And we ...
     Bb     | Em7 | Asus4 A |
Knew camaraderie

Chorus
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room
        | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Our hideaway
        | Asus4   Asus4/G   Asus4/E   |
We would play the strangest games
        | A        A/G     A/E   |
That any boy might like to play
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room
             | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
Both night and day
      | Asus4     Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
Candles flickered casting shadows
     | A        A/G       A/E   |
On the monsters and their prey

Verse 2
F#m                D6
Mother, I wrote to you
         G
But your answers only said
            Asus4
That it’s important to be brave
F#m             Bm
Father was far away
     Em7
In a corner of the empire
         A
Where we never shall be slaves

Bridge
    F
For we ...
     Bb     | Em7 | Asus4 A |
Knew camaraderie

Chorus
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room
          | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
A boy could see
     | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
How survival of the  fittest
      | A         A/G    A/E   |
Meant destruction of the weak
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the lost room
    | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
A tyranny
    | Asus4     Asus4/G  Asus4/E   |
Was imposed by those who crowed
           | A        A/G   A/E   |
They’d never turn the other cheek

Verse 3
F#m              D6
Crash! And then again
        G
But the servants cleaning dormitories
Asus4
Can’t hear what we say
F#m              Bm
Crack! It’s only pain
      Em7
And important to be disciplined
     A
When war is on the way

Bridge
     F
They say ...
Bb      | Em7 | Asus4 A |
 We will obey

How survival of the  fittest
      | A         A/G    A/E   |
Meant destruction of the weak
      | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
In the future
            | Bm Bm/A Bm/F# |
As time would tell
      | Asus4 Asus4/G Asus4/E   |
Running riot  under   orders
       | A     A/G    A/E   |
Would create a living hell
