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