Intro 4x: Bm  D  A  A

Verso:
Bm                    D
     Bang Bang go the coffin nails
       A                  A
Like a breath exhaled and gone forever
Bm                   D
     Seems like just yesterday
A                  A
How did I miss the red flags

Bm                    D
Raised? Think back to days we laughed
   A                     A
We braved these bitter storms together
Bm             D
Brought to his knees he cried,
A               A
     But on his feet he died

Pr?-Refr?o:
Bm        D                    A
     What God could damn a har-eart?
         Bm               D
And what God drove us apa-hart (?Apart?)?
     A      
What God co-hould (?Could?)

Refr?o:
Bm           D              A
     Make it stop, let this end
         Em
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge.
Bm             D                  A
     It?s come this, a weightless step
       Em
On the way down singing
Bm      D          A     Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm      D          A     Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Verso:
Bm                      D
     Bang bang from the closet walls
    A                      A
The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun?s loaded
Bm               D
     Push me and I?ll push back
A                     A
     I?m done asking, I demand

Bm            D
From a nation under God
  A                    A
I feel its love like a cattle prod
Bm                     D
     I?m born free but still they hate
A                     A
     I?m born me, no, I can?t change

Pr?-Refr?o:
Bm               D            A
     It?s always darkest just before the dawn
   Bm              D
So stay awake with me
N/C             Bm
LETS PROVE THEM WRONG

Refr?o:
        D              A
Make it stop, let this end

     It?s come this, a weightless step

On the way down singing

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Ponte:
Bm                  A
     The cold river washed him away
    F#              G
But how could we forget
    Bm              A
The gatherings hold candles
G
     But not their tongues
    Bm                 A
And too much blood has flown from the wrists
       F#                  G                   Bm
Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss

         D                A
Who will rise to stop the blood?
                  Bm             D
We?re counting for, insisting on
                 A                  Bm      D          A     Em
A different beat, yeah, a brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm      D          A     Em
A brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm      D          A     Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Bm      D          A     Em
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

     Make it stop, make this end
                Em                  Bm
This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin.
            D              A
And proud I stand of who I am
          Em
I plan to go on living!

Bm           D               A
     Make it stop, make this end
          Em
All these years pushed to the ledge.
Bm               D              A
     And proud I stand of who I am
          Em
I plan to go on living!
