Intro: Play E at standard 16ths until he starts singing, listen to song for the
strumming pattern, really simple and constant throughout the song.
E
Downright hopelessness
When the wrath of consequence comes
A
Knocking on that old front door
B
And we count the ways
the seconds that fall into place with
A
the emptiness don’t hold the phone
E
I know some are counting on
God above or methadone
A
to kill the wake and take away the pain
B
I feel for the lost and empathize the cost
A A (let ring)
For calamity from what I’ve seen
E B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
C#m A2
We are not the type and far young to die
E B
In a rattled cage heads against the wall
C#m
Through dangerous nights
A2 B2 A2, G#, F#
No more lullabies, open up and wail
E
We’ve got what it takes
A
Everything that needs to make a fighting chance
B
At carrying the load of falling day to day
A
A gruesome cold reality square in the nose
A (let ring)
Bleeding to the toes
E B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
C#m A2
We are not the type and far young to die
E B
In a rattled cage heads against the wall
C#m
Through dangerous nights
A2
No more lullabies
E2 B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
C#m A2
We are not the type and far young to die
E2 B
In a rattled cage heads against the wall
C#m
Through dangerous nights
A2 B2 (slowing tempo)
No more lullabies, open up and wail
E (let ring)
Open up and wail
Thanks...
