Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
DmDm
When I was just a little boy, me and my father
Would go out back and play a little game of cops and robbers
FF G minorGm
One day he cocked the gun and pointed at my mom and shot her
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
And I cried and cried with laughter after I realized it was just water
DmDm
But things have changed now, the world just ain't the same now
FF
We're frightened but we need to be enlightened, use our brain now
G minorGm
People pointing fingers, trying to find someone to blame now
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Ashamed how the game of cops and robbers ain't a game now
Chorus:
DmDm
These ain't water guns
FF G minorGm
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Cause these ain't water guns, water guns no more
DmDm
These ain't water guns
FF G minorGm
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Bb majorBb A augmentedA DmDm
Cause these ain't water guns, water guns no more
Verse 2:
Look around, tell me how we ever got here
FF G minorGm
We fightin' hard, but the reasoning is not clear
G+G
Stop here, where is the love if it's not here?
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
The solution to not getting shot here is not fear
DmDm
And we can fly away on a balloon to another land
FF G minorGm
Or we can make this home, find another plan
Too much blood on these yellow brick streets
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
And history repeats until we can finally hold our brother's hand
Chorus:
DmDm
These ain't water guns
FF G minorGm
And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
Bb majorBb A augmentedA
Cause these ain't water guns, water guns no more

And please save all our sons and daughters
What we fighting for?
