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