Tune Guitar half a step down
Intro:
C Am C Am
G F G F E Am
Verse:
Am G E
Skies black, cold and vacant now
Dm Am
I sat on the hillside
C
The stars up above me
G
Like pinholes in velvet
Am
I listened to the song
E Am
That I hoped I'd never hear
Am G E
And off behind me
Dm Am
Guns snap like insects
C
We're fighting for causes
G
We don't really fathom
Am
But we'll charge ahead
E Am
Bloodied hands feed the flames
Bridge
Am G C E
Their guns all rain down
Am G F C
C Am Em F
Say your prayers, fall and run
G Am G F
This is do or die this time
C Am G
Raise your fist, give 'em hell boys
F
Let's make them wish they'd never lived
Am G E
My eyes locked with a boy on the other side
Dm Am
Hands dropped, he stood defenseless
C
But he wasn't frightened
G
His face was accepting
Am
But I couldn't pull
Em Am
I couldn't pull, I couldn't pull
Am G C E Am
And I could see it clear
Am G C E Am
To fall was not my fear
Am G C E
To make one fall was
C F C
And the chaos returned, I backed into the trees
Am Em F G
Left my guns on the ground, wiped the mud from my knees
C F C
And I knew in my heart that my old life was gone
Am C G
That in walking away, my name was undone
G
So I might as well run
Am G Am G
Am G Am C G
Am G Am G
Am G Am C
C G Am C Am G Am C Am Dm G Em F C
Parts and bones and strings of secrets cut the ties that bind me
C G Am C Am G Am C Am Dm G Em F C
I might dream myself as king, but I ain't made for ruling
C
Am G
Just live another day,
and I can find another way (3x)
