C
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs

[Verse]

                 Am               G
Yeah, there was anger, there was danger
           F                 C
There was violence, there was blood
              Am          G
There was confusion and illusion
       F              C
All solutions in the mud
            Am              G               F       Am
As we were standing up for justice, in the corner I see
         Am               G
I ain't lying, you were crying
         F           C
Holding on to your knees

[Pre-Chorus]

          F
I always knew that you were running from something
              Am
Maybe I just didn't know you're running scared
        G
From a ghost that you created, baby
          F
When you look back is there nothing there?
             Am
And you can run as fast as the sun
              F
Or maybe only as fast as this car will go
     G                                    F
And you could take your bullshit east or west
                       G
I don't give a shit - all I know is that

[Chorus]

C                                F
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs
C                     F          G
And I'm sure that it won't take long
Am                          F
Before they all talk their shit and go home cause
C                               F
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs
C                               F               C
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs

[Verse]

           Am          G        F        C
And in the eye of the storm an illusion of peace
               Am           G              F           C
I'll tell you this is your last chance to pack up and leave
            Am         G                  F          Am
And if you ever come around here talking that trash to me
     Am              G          F             C
The last thing that I'll do is back down and leave

[Pre-Chorus]

          F
I always knew that you were running from something
              Am
Maybe I just didn't know you're running scared
        G
From a ghost that you created, baby
          F
When you look back is there nothing there?
             Am
And you can run as fast as the sun
              F
Or maybe only as fast as this car will go
     G                                    F
And you could take your bullshit east or west
                       G
I don't give a shit - all I know is that

[Chorus]

C                                F
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs

And I'm sure that it won't take long
Am                          F
Before they all talk their shit and go home cause
C                               F
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs
C                               F               C
They're only rebels 'cause they like the songs
