        C                    Em
We were soldiers in a bloody sex war
          C                           Em
Without a clue 'bout what we'd signed on for
      F                             Em
But we fought the good fight and we fucked each other down
             F                            Em
I sucked the venom out of your bite, went back for another round
        C              Em
Of your sloppy, sloppy buffet
             C                   Em
Watching the chips falling where they may
      F                     Em
And we tried it my way, and then we tried it yours
         F                               Em
Stopping traffic on the highway with our public intercourse

CHORUS

   C
Of course we did now didn't we
             G                  Am
And there was no remorse, no regrets of any kind
        C                   F
We were so unsightly but we paid no mind
         G
It was a sex war
            Am
And we were watching it unwind
         C                      F
From our front row seats on the front lines
            C          F                           C
And we were wild eyed, shell shocked and messed up
                     Cadd9
Cracked actors ready for our close up

Huh!

        C                         Em
We were fighting for a perverse future
          C                         Em
For every man, women, child and computer
      F    Fmaj7                  Em
And we had our instructions so we marched into the fray
         F      Fmaj7                     Em
Where I sampled your love suction and you showered in my spray
        (INTRO RIFF or chords below)
        Cmaj7                    Em
And you didn't know who you were shooting at
         (INTRO RIFF or chords below)
         Cmaj7                           Em
I didn't care that your boobies were booby trapped
        F      Fmaj7                 Em
We were all in this together, it was just like Vietnam
              F     Fmaj7                  Em
Except with a whole lot more leather and a whole lot less napalm

CHORUS 2
--------
C
  Less napalm...
G                           Am
  We watch in wonder as the enemy gets 
         C                   F
On the receiving ends of our bayonets
         G           Am
It was a sex war, no truce in sight
        C                       F
Sending home body bags on every cargo flight
            C                  F
And we were killing machines letting all our guns fly
C            Cadd9
Sex marines, Semper Fi

Em                       F
 Our hearts racing every night as we hunker 
        C                    F
In the dirty confines of our love bunker
          G                    Am
This is a sex war and we ain't going AWOL
        C            Dm           Em           F
Letting god sort 'em out after we kill 'em all
            C         Dm      Em     F
And we were over stimulated American heroes
C              Dm              Em       F
Fighting to prevent the next sex ground zero
C/G         Dm/A          Em/B        F/C
Notified by unwanted knocks upon your front doors
C               Cadd9
 Fresh kills Casualties of sex wars!

Note: The four X/Y chords above aren't in the song I was just trying to
recreate the sense of crescendo. If you choose to play the preceding chords low
on the neck, then these can be useful for climbing into position for the final
Cadd9.
