D A
Shot down, by your bullets
D A
They shatter, my faith and my bones
G
If you would listen, your words they hurt

They creep right under my skin
A
They cut so deep, oh
Em G Bm
Can't you understand, I don't want battles, battles, battles
Em G
And if you lay them in my hand
Bm
I won't fight battles, battles, battles
G D
Oh tell me why
A G
We work so hard to break these bones
G D A
Can we try, to lay down

These sticks and stones,
