Am              G
Shoot me down, lay me to rest
F                   G            Am
Time don?t wait for no man she said
Am                    G              
Pick you religion and hope for the best
F                 G           Am
Battle lines are drawn in the end

 
         Am   G
So I go down, oh,
F                   G         Am
This time it gets harder to breath
               G
So I go down, oh,
F                   G           Am
This poor world has started to bleed

 
            C   G
But I will wait on,
        Am   G    F
Till I hear your call
             C    G
And I will break out
        Am  G   F    Am
When I fear no more

 
 Am                         G 
Don?t feel uneasy look him dead in the eye
         F                G            Am
You?ve listened now it?s your time to show
 Am                           G                
Blow your mind open, with the thought of a lie
      F               G           Am
Rest easy now there?s no where to go

 
         Am   G
So I go down, oh,
F                 G          Am
This time it gets harder to breath
         Am   G
So I go down, oh,
 F                  G           Am
This poor world has started to bleed

 

Chorus (x2)

Dm, F, G 

          Dm    
Don?t you hang your hat on a one way street
 F                       G          
Foolin yourself with impossible dreams
           Dm                
Don?t you fly your flag as the sky still burns
 F                        G         
Stand your ground when the cold war comes

 
         Dm
So she shut her eyes as the world closed in
F                      G
Held her breath as the time began
         Dm            
As her heart beat still and her lips run dry
    F                     G
This time you fight or this time you die

 
       Dm              
Oh for 8 long years she as held this fire
F                            G 
Father time has come and her limps are tired
        Dm                       
But for one last time she she?s the flashes of light
     F                        G
Its hard to believe this life is ending tonight

 
Am, G, F, G, Am
