VERSE:
(palm mute)
Em(022xxx) G5(355xxx)
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
D5(x577xx) A5(577xxx)
And the morning will come soon.
[Em]I?ll tell you stories of a [G5]better time,
In a [D5]place that we once k[Em]new.
(release palm mute)
Em(022000) G(3x003x)
Before we packed our bags and left all this
D(xx0230) Asus2(x02200)
behind us in the dust,
Em(022000) G(3x003x)
We had a place that we could call home,
D(xx0230) Em(022000)
And a life no one could touch.

Em(022000)
Don?t hold me up now,
G(3x003x)

VERSE
(same as above)
(palm mute)
[Em]We are the angry and the [G5]desperate,
The [D5]hungry, and the [A5]cold,
[Em]We are the ones who kept [G5]quiet,
And always [D5]did what we were t[Em]old.
(release palm mute)
[Em]But we?ve been sweating while you [G]slept so calm,
In the [D]safety of your ho[Asus2]me.
[Em]We?ve been pulling out the [G]nails that hold up
[D]Everything you?ve [Em]known.
REPEAT cHORUS
BRIDGE:
(both guitars)
Am(x02210) G(3x003x) Am
So open your eyes child, let?s be on our way.
Broken windows and [G]ashes are guiding the [Am]way.
G C/F(x33010)
Keep quiet no longer, we?ll sing through the day,
Em(022000) Csus2(x3x03x) G D
Of the lives that we?ve lost, and the lives we?ve reclaimed.
Go!
