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