Am C G Dm
Woah, woooooah
Am C G Dm
Woah, woooooah
Am C G D Dm }x2
Am C
Bang, bang, Go the coffin nails
G D Dm
Like a breath exhaled, been gone forever
Am C
It seems like just yesterday
G D Dm Am
How did I miss the red flags raised?
C
Raise these back, the days we left
G D Dm
We braved these bitter storms together
Am C
Brought to his knees, he cried
G D Dm F
But on his feet he died
G Am
What God would damn a heart?
C F
And what God drove us apart?
G
What God could?
Am C G
Make it stop, let this end
D Am
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
C G
It’s come to this, a weightless step
Dm
On the way down singing
Am C G Dm
Woah, woooooah
F F G G7
Woah, woooooah
Am C G D Dm }x2
Am C
Bang, bang, from the closet walls
G D Dm
The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun’s loaded
Am C
Push me and I’ll push back
G D Dm Am
I’m done asking, I demand
C
From a nation under God
G D Dm
I feel its love like a cattle prod
Am C
I’m born free but still they hate
G D Dm F
I’m born me, no, I can’t change
G Dm
It’s always darkest just before the dawn
F G
So stay awake with me
Am
Let’s prove them wrong
C G
Make it stop, let this end
D Am
Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
C G
It’s come to this, a weightless step
Dm
On the way down singing
Am C G Dm
Woah, woooooah
F F G G7
Woah, woooooah
Am G
The cold river washed him away
Em F
But how could we forget?
Am G
Gathering the candles
F
But not their tongues
Am G
And too much blood has flown from the wrist
Em F Am
Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss
G F
Who will rise to stop the blood
Am C
We’re coming forth, insisting on
F Am
A different beat, yeah, a brand new song

Am C G
Make it stop, let this end
D Am
This life chose me, I’m not lost in sin
C G
And proud I stand, of who I Am
Dm
I plan to Go on living
Am C G
Make it stop, let this end
D Am
All these years pushed to the ledge
C G
And proud I stand, of who I Am
Dm
I plan to Go on living
