Mars chords by Sleeping At Last
Guitar chords with lyrics
🎸 Verse 1:
Em
We laid our names to rest
C
Along the dotted line
Em
We left our date of birth
Am
And our history behind
🎸 Verse 2:
Am C
We were full of life
C Em
We could barely hold it in
Em Dm
We were amateurs at war
Dm Am
Strangers to suffering
Am C
We made our families proud
C Em
But scared at the same time
Em Dm
We promised we'd be safe
Dm Am
Another lie from the front lines
🎸 Verse 3:
Am
Our backs against the wall
C Em
We’re surrounded and afraid
Em Dm
Our lives now in the hands
Dm Am
Of the soldiers taking aim
Am C
Our questions ricochet
C Em
Like broken satellites
Em Dm
How our bodies, born to heal
Dm Em
Become so prone to die?
Em (4x)
🎸 Bridge:
Em
Though time is ruthless
C
It showed us kindness in the end
C
(By slowing down enough)
C Em
(A second chance to make amends)
Em
As life replayed
Am
We heard a voice proclaim
🎸 Verse 4:
Am C
"Lay your weapons down!
C Em
They’re calling off the war
Em Dm
On account of losing track
Dm Am
Of what we’re fighting for"
Am C
So we found our way back home
C Em
Let our cuts and bruises heal
Em Dm
While a brand-new war began
Dm Am
One that no one else could feel
🎸 Verse 5:
Am C
Our nights have grown so long
C Em
Now we beg for sound advice
Em Dm
"Let the brokenness be felt
Dm Am
'Til you reach the other side
Am C
There is goodness in the heart
C Em
Of every broken man
Em Dm
Who comes right up to the edge
Dm Am
Of losing everything he has"
Am C
(Losing everything he has)
C Em
(Losing everything he has)
Em Dm
We were young enough to sign
Dm Am
Along the dotted line
Am C
(To build a better life)
C Em
(To build a better life)
Em Dm
Now we're young enough to try
Em
To build a better life
Em
To build a better life Published:
