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