 G                                                                                                   Em 
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die
                                                                                           C 
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites
                                                                                                   D 
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light
On the glass was a better life
 G 
Staring at a hole in your chest
                                                       Em 
That's been dug there for decades
American broken promises
 C 
Caught between the lies you've been fed
                                           D 
And a war with your bloodstream
                                                                                       G       Em     C 
I should have been there when you needed a friend
             D                   G   Em   C     D               G   Em   C 
I was off on my own a---gai-n
 D                                     G   Em   C 
Selfish and stupid
                       G 
So if you call me back or let me in
                           Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again
                         G 
I know the devil you've been fighting with
                             Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again
verse 3
 G 
I had that nightmare again
                                     Em 
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
                                                 C 
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
                                         D 
And I beat you half-conscious
                                                                               G     Em   C 
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat
 D                         G         Em   C   D 
I want those years back
                       G 
So if you call me back or let me in
                             Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again
                         G 
I know the devil you've been fighting with
                             Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again

We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers

I swear I'll never let you down again
                         G 
I know the devil you've been fighting with
                             Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again

So if you call me back or let me in
                             Em 
I swear I'll never let you down again
