Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1] E MajorE Like a burning monk C# minorC#m You're my light flare out in the dark G# minorG#m You're my constant call to arms Took the blindfold off A augmentedA E MajorE They'd left chalk outlines where the future was C# minorC#m It's a goddamn war of attrition G# minorG#m It's a death by a thousand cuts A augmentedA And if these motherfuckers made it to heaven They burned the bridge when they got across
[Chorus 1] E MajorE They're gathering anchors BB They're gathering rope A augmentedA You push into heaven all alone E MajorE They're grabbing your ankles BB They won't let you go A augmentedA The ebb and the distant flow BB They're cutting your wings off A augmentedA Built you ceilings out of stained glass [Verse 2] E MajorE C# minorC#m Well you cut like gravel in my skinned knee G# minorG#m The wound will close eventually A augmentedA E MajorE You'll stay as a reminder of how fucked this world can be C# minorC#m Held your funeral on a Tuesday G# minorG#m Holy waters, November cold A augmentedA The kid who pulled the trigger Knew tomorrow couldn't promise him hope
[Chorus 2] E MajorE BB All these bastards are gathering rope A augmentedA You push into heaven all alone E MajorE They're grabbing your ankles BB They won't let you go A augmentedA The ebb and the distant flow BB They're cutting your wings off A augmentedA Built your ceilings out of stained glass BB They were cutting your wings off A augmentedA I was staring at my idle hands C# minorC#m Maybe I could've done something A augmentedA Maybe I could've made a difference [Interlude] BB A augmentedA x4 [Bridge 1] [Soupy] C# minorC#m A augmentedA John Wayne with a God complex Tells me to buy a gun E MajorE Like shooting a teenage kid is gonna solve any problems Like it's an arms race C# minorC#m Like death don't mean nothing A augmentedA To know the heavy price of living poor E MajorE Walled in by red lines, backed into a corner Not knowing growing up what it's like to belong here in America [Bridge 2] [Jason Aalon Butler] C# minorC#m A augmentedA If everyone's built the same then how come building's so fucking hard for you? E MajorE It's something we're all born into C# minorC#m Nothing's left up to gray A augmentedA It's black or white and sometimes black and blue E MajorE BB It's something we're all born into, whoa-oh C# minorC#m Now I know what's in a name Not just my father A augmentedA Three-fifths a man makes half of me Why should I bother? [Soupy] E MajorE BB Merchants of misery stacking the deck Fuck your John Waynes Fuck your God complex [Jason Aalon Butler] C# minorC#m I have everything in front of me A augmentedA But can't reach far enough To touch those fever dreams E MajorE They call America I am the ghetto's chosen one BB The privileged bastard son [Outro] C# minorC#m They're gathering anchors BB They're gathering rope A augmentedA You push into heaven all alone E MajorE They're gathering anchors BB They're gathering rope A augmentedA You push into heaven all alone No, all alone [End] C# minorC#m
