Introduction: F C C
F C
My god is better than yours.
F C G F
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.
C G Am F C
I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off.
F C G Am F G
And I burned every picture of yours, was that not enough?
F C
My gun is bigger than yours,
F C G F
So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then.
C G Am F C
Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours.
F C G Am F G
Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours?
Dm Am C G
These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway.
Dm Am C G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray.
F C9+/G Am C G
As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears,
F G*
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.
C G Am F C
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
F C G Am F G
And there is chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.
Dm Am C G
May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead.
Dm Am C G
May these winds be always at your back.
F C9+/G Am C G
'Cause when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,
F G*
We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."
Am C F
Am C F
From the penthouse to the holy martyr,
Am C F
Sea to shining sea,
Am C F
From the coffins full of kindergartners,
Am C F
Is this what you call free?
Am C F
From the hate that drips from all your crosses,
Am C F
Are your hands so clean?
Am C F
And the wildfire, it is spreading far,
Am C G
From sea to shining sea.
F* C9+/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."
