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