[Bm] [Bm] [G] [Asus]
(Bm) The air my lungs first loved
carves craters from my eyes
they said "breathe deeply kid,
or be the next to die."
(G) Beneath the falling night
and heaven's shutting gate

(G)pray keep your tongue held tight
or suffer the same fate
(Bm )the blood on our black (Asus)gloves
it is none of your (G) concern
(Bm) if you want to call our (Asus) bluff
get in line and wait your (G) turn
and watch the witches burn"

(Bm) Don't flinch when innocents
are (Asus) dancing with the flame
(G)if they wanted to live
(Am)they'd learn to play the game
(Bm) You can still walk away
(Asus) if you just hold your tongue
(G) if you'd just walk away
(Em) you'd live to see the sun but"
(G) Under this killing moon
(G) under this burning sky
(G) the fire's shining groom
(G) I hold my breath and close my eyes
(Bm) "The blood on our black (Asus) gloves
it is none of your (G) concern
(Bm) if you want to call our (Asus) bluff
get in line and wait your (G) turn
(Bm) "The blood on our black (Asus) gloves
it is none of your (G) concern
(Bm) if you want to call our (Asus) bluff
get in line and wait your (G) turn
(G) and watch the witches (Bm) burn
BURN!

it's a little more than chords, but it makes for a good acoustic song that to sing that isn't boring.
