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