• Key: Am

Instrumental 🤘 Intro:

Am Dm  x4



🤘 Verse 1:
       Am             F
As the sun goes down
I move around
Em             Am
Keeping to the shadows
                 F
Life, hangs by a thread
         Dm
And I've heard it said
Am
that I'll not see tomorrow

🤘 Verse 2:
          Am                        F
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
                   Dm
So I'll face the future
Dm
Running out of time
F
I'm on the line
Dm                   Am
but I'll go down fighting

🤘 Verse 3:
Am
Felt the hand of justice

Telling wrong from right
F
Threw me out upon the street
       G
In the middle of the night
Am
Cybernetic heartbeat

Digital precise
F
Pneumatic fingers nearly
E
Had me in their vice

🤘 Pre-Chorus 1:
    Dm
Not begging you
            E
I'm telling you

🤘 Chorus:
Am
You won't break me

You won't make me
F
You won't take me
      G          Am
Under blood red skies

You won't break me
          G
You won't take me
     F
I'll fight you under
G           Am
Blood red skies

🤘 Verse 4:
Am
Through a shattered city
Watched by laser eyes
F
Overhead the night squad glides
    G
The decaying paradise
Am
Automatic sniper

With computer sights
F
Scans the bleak horizon
E
For its victim of the night

🤘 Pre-Chorus 2:
        Am
They're closing in
              G
They'll never win

🤘 Chorus:
Am
You won't break me
          F
You won't make me
          G
You won't take me
      Am
Under blood red skies
Am
You won't break me
          F
You won't take me
     G
I'll fight you
      Am
Under blood red skies
