Mars chords by Sleeping At Last

Chords with lyrics

🎸 Verse 1:
E minorEm
We laid our names to rest
         C majorC
Along the dotted line
E minorEm
We left our date of birth
        A minorAm
And our history behind


🎸 Verse 2:
A minorAm       C majorC
We were full of life
C majorC            E minorEm
We could barely hold it in
E minorEm         DmDm
We were amateurs at war
DmDm        A minorAm
Strangers to suffering
A minorAm           C majorC
We made our families proud
C majorC            E minorEm
But scared at the same time
E minorEm          DmDm
We promised we'd be safe
 DmDm              A minorAm
Another lie from the front lines

🎸 Verse 3:
 A minorAm
Our backs against the wall
 C majorC            E minorEm
We’re surrounded and afraid
E minorEm          DmDm
Our lives now in the hands
DmDm           A minorAm
Of the soldiers taking aim
A minorAm        C majorC
Our questions ricochet
C majorC       E minorEm
Like broken satellites
E minorEm            DmDm
How our bodies, born to heal
DmDm         E minorEm
Become so prone to die?

E minorEm (4x)

🎸 Bridge:
E minorEm
Though time is ruthless
               C majorC
It showed us kindness in the end
C majorC
(By slowing down enough)
C majorC                E minorEm
(A augmentedA second chance to make amends)
E minorEm
As life replayed
         A minorAm
We heard a voice proclaim


🎸 Verse 4:
A minorAm         C majorC
"Lay your weapons down!
C majorC            E minorEm
They’re calling off the war
E minorEm           DmDm
On account of losing track
DmDm           A minorAm
Of what we’re fighting for"
A minorAm            C majorC
So we found our way back home
C majorC             E minorEm
Let our cuts and bruises heal
E minorEm           DmDm
While a brand-new war began
DmDm             A minorAm
One that no one else could feel


🎸 Verse 5:
A minorAm            C majorC
Our nights have grown so long
C majorC           E minorEm
Now we beg for sound advice
E minorEm           DmDm
"Let the brokenness be felt
DmDm            A minorAm
'Til you reach the other side
A minorAm             C majorC
There is goodness in the heart
C majorC        E minorEm
Of every broken man
E minorEm             DmDm
Who comes right up to the edge
DmDm            A minorAm
Of losing everything he has"
A minorAm           C majorC
(Losing everything he has)
 C majorC           E minorEm
(Losing everything he has)
E minorEm            DmDm
We were young enough to sign
DmDm        A minorAm
Along the dotted line
A minorAm         C majorC
(To build a better life)
C majorC          E minorEm
(To build a better life)
E minorEm             DmDm
Now we're young enough to try
          E minorEm
To build a better life
          E minorEm
To build a better life
