Intro: C (x2)

Verse:
C
Do you know what’s worth fighting for,
C
When it’s not worth dying for?
C
Does it take your breath away
C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
C
And you look for a place to hide?
C
Did someone break your heart inside?
C5
You’re in ruins

Chorus:
D5
One, 21 guns
A#5
Lay down your arms
C5
Give up the fight
D5
One, 21 guns
C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
C5
You and I

Verse:
C
When you’re at the end of the road
C
And you lost all sense of control
C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
C
Your faith walks on broken glass
C
And the hangover doesn’t pass
C
Nothing’s ever built to last
C5
You’re in ruins.

Chorus:
D5
One, 21 guns
A#5
Lay down your arms
C5
Give up the fight
D5
One, 21 guns
C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
C5
You and I

Bridge:
C
Did you try to live on your own
A
When you burned down the house and home?
A
Did you stand too close to the fire?
C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

Solo:
C5 (x2)

E5

Break:
C (x2)

Verse:
C
When it’s time to live and let die
C
And you can’t get another try
C
Something inside this heart has died
C5
You’re in ruins.

Chorus:
D5
One, 21 guns
A#5
Lay down your arms
C5
Give up the fight
D5
One, 21 guns
C5
Throw up your arms into the sky
D5
One, 21 guns
A#5
Lay down your arms
C5
Give up the fight
D5
One, 21 guns
C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
C5
