The Violence chords by Rise Against

Intro:
Am F G

Verse 1:
 Am
Dancing on the crumbling precipice
     F
The rocks are coming loose just at the edge
          C                Am
Are we laughing? Are we crying?
         G                F
Are we drowning? Are we dead?
G                  Am
Or was it all a dream?

Instrumental:
Am F G

Verse:
 Am
The bombs are getting closer everyday
     F
'That can never happen here' we used to say
          C                Am
Have these wars come to our doorstep?
         G                F
Has this moment finally come?
G                  Am
Or was it all a dream?

Instrumental:
Am F G

Chorus:
G           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am              F            G
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
Am           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am
To become something greater
           F            G
Than the violence in our nature?
            F        G                   Am
Are we not good enough or was it all a dream?

Verse 2:
 Am
To a pretty time and fate are we condemned
     F
Or maybe we're a book without an end
          C                Am
We're not stories, we're not actors
         G                F
We're awake and in control
G                  Am
And this is not a dream

Pre-Chorus:
    Am                F
So can we break this mold
             G               F
And set in motion something new
            Am       F
Forgetting what we know
                G
An evolution overdue
            F
Fight the current
           C
Pull the ripcord
     G
Get away!

Chorus:
G           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am              F            G
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
Am           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am
To become something greater
           F            G
Than the violence in our nature?
            F        G                   Am
Are we not good enough or was it all a dream?

Bridge:
G           F
We travel back
    G        Am
To what we take
Am           G
We need a storm
                F
Let's pray for rain now
    Am          F      G
To wash these roads away
G                F      G        Am
Let's get off track and wander far
Am             G          F
Same roads reducing destinations
     Am         F      G
Do nothing but show our heart
        F              Am
We're talking in our sleep
       G                   F
And sleeping through our lives
     G            F                    Am
We dream of the places where we never die
     F
We step from our shadows
     G         F   G
And into the light

Chorus:
G           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am              F            G
Is the violence in our nature just the image of our maker?
Am           F    Am                 F      G
Are we not good enough? Are we not brave enough?
         F               Am
To become something greater
           F            G
Than the violence in our nature?
            F        G                   Am
