Verse
D
We were just looking for a good time
Now it's goodbyes for no reason
G A
Every day gun season
Bm
Breathin' was uneven
D
People down on knees and
Everything was a blur
G
Can't tell you where he was
D Bm
But I remember where we were
(Look)
D
Lately we can't even have our past times
G D Bm
We leave our homes and wonder if it'll be our last time
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
If I die before I wake
A Bm
Please forgive all my mistakes
D G
Know that I was gonna stand for
A Bm
Something, something, something
D G
I’ve got so much life to live
A Bm
And I’ve got so much love to give
D G
Please don't take it all for nothing
A Bm
Nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
G D
In a mad man’s world
A Bm
Happens every day
G D
I don't understand
G D
Why the rules can't change
G D
I don't wanna be a moment of silence
A Bm
I don’t wanna be an early grave
G A Bm
When I'm walking through the halls
G D
I don't wanna be brave
G D
I just wanna be safe
[Verse 2]
D
Politicians only slight work
Tell me what is my life worth
G A Bm
Mamas look at babies saying bye while they in diapers
D
Used to be afraid of snipers
Boogie Man, Pied Piper
G A Bm
Now we in the street afraid of rifles
D
They end up in the wrong hands
Say we shouldn't ban all
G A Bm
Does the right to bear arms trump the fight to stand tall
D
Cause the money, greenest foliage in cemeteries
G A Bm
People up in power cool with laws remaining sedentary
D
Think I've had enough of it
I'm just putting up with it
G
We gotta make a difference
D Bm
We won't let them take another kid
I'm done with it
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
If I die before I wake
A Bm
Please forgive all my mistakes
D G
Know that I was gonna stand for
A Bm
Something, something, something
D G
I’ve got so much life to live
A Bm
And I’ve got so much love to give
D G
Please don't take it all for nothing
A Bm
Nothing, nothing, nothing
[Chorus]
G D
In a mad man’s world
A Bm
Happens every day
G D
I don't understand
G D
Why the rules can't change
G D
I don't wanna be a moment of silence
A Bm
I don’t wanna be an early grave
G A Bm
When I'm walking through the halls
G D
I don't wanna be brave
G D
I just wanna be safe
