   Intro:      C     Am     Em     G 


C                  Am                   Em     G
 There's a smoking gun where the sirens end
C                  Am                      Em     G
 Hear the battle drums, see the tribes descend
C               Am                     Em     G
 We can stand apart, we can stand together
C                     Am                    Em     
 Can they leave your heart, and take me forever?


F                    C
 While the shrapnel falls
              G
 I hear your call
                 Am
 You cry out for me
F            C
 And I will come
         G
 I will run
                Am
 To be by your side
F                C
 If the silence wins
                   G
 I will guide you in
                 Am
 I will be your voice
F                   C
 They can take my soul
                 G
 Be the hands I hold
              Am        F
 I will sacrifice

 
C                   Am                  Em      G
 And I watched you rise in the dawn of tears
C               Am                   Em     G
 And I saw you fight all my darkest fears
C                Am                  Em     G
 We can win this war if we rage together
C                   Am                   Em
 I will guard your door, I will stay forever


F                    C
 While the shrapnel falls

 And I will come
         G
 I will run

 To be by your side

 If the silence wins
                   G
 I will guide you in
                 Am
 I will be your voice
F                   C
 They can take my soul
                 G
 Be the hands I hold
              Am        
 I will sacrifice


C                     Bm
 There's a war outside, one in here too
C                        Bm
 Well we're done fighting, we only want the truth
C                     Bm
 There's a war in here, well we'll find peace
C                        G                (Am)
 Well we're done fighting, we only want relief

 They can take my soul

 Be the hands I hold
              Am        
 I will sacrifice

 And I will come
         G
 I will run
                Am
 To be by your side
