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