FC My god is better than yours. FCGF And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all. CGAmFC I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off. FCGAmFG And I burned every picture of yours, was that not enough? FC My gun is bigger than yours, FCGF So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then. CGAmFC Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours. FCGAmFG Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours?
DmAmCG These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway. DmAmCG Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray. FC9M/GAmCG As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears, FG* I will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"
Am* F* C* My dreams are not unlike yours, Am* F* C* G* F They long for the safety and break like a glass chandelier. CGAmFC But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears. FCGAmFG And there is chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.
DmAmCG May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead. DmAmCG May these winds be always at your back. FC9M/GAmCG 'Cause when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us, FG* We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."
AmCF AmCF From the penthouse to the holy martyr, AmCF Sea to shining sea, AmCF From the coffins full of kindergartners, AmCF Is this what you call free? AmCF From the hate that drips from all your crosses, AmCF Are your hands so clean? AmCF And the wildfire, it is spreading far, AmCG From sea to shining sea.
F* C9M/G *Am* C* G* When we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us, F^ G^ G* Am Yeah I'll scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here."
