Intro 4x: Bm  D  A
          Em  D  A

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

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

Pré-Refrão:
      Em                   Bm
What God would damn a he|--art?
         A               G
And what God drove us apa--rt?
     A
What God Could?

Refrão:
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
G      D          A
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

              D
From a nation under God
A                        Em
  I feel its love like a cattle prod
Bm                   D
   I’m born free but still they hate
A                          G
  I’m born me, no, I can’t change

Pré-Refrão:
     Em             Bm              A
It’s always darkest just before the dawn
   G              A
So stay awake with me
                Bm
LETS PROVE THEM WRONG!

   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

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