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