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