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