[F] I [C]followed you out[G] in the storm[Am]
[F] But it [C]carried you off[G]

Was that not enough?
[VERSE 2]
[Am]My gun is [F]bigger than yours[C]
So [Am]let's arm the mas [F]- ses and [C]see what the bas [G]- tards do [F]then

[F] Do you [C]cry my name[G] in the dark[Am]
F G | | | |
like I do yours?
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
These [Dm]storms are getting [Am]stronger now
The [C]trusses all bend and [G]sway
[Dm]Lightning hits, the [Am]power goes out in the fray[G]
[CHORUS 1]
As the waves[F] [G]crash high[Am]
And the shore [C]- line disappears[G]
And I'll [F]scream to the sky
G n.c.
"Hey, people live here."

[VERSE 3]
[Am]My dreams are not[F] unlike [C]yours
They [Am]long for the safe [F]- ty and break[C] like a glass[G] chandelier
[REFRAIN 3]
[F] But there's [C]laughter and oh,[G] there is love[Am]
[F]Just past the edge[C] of our fears[G]
[F] And there's [C]chaos when [G]push comes to shove[Am]
F G | | |
But it's music to my ears
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
And [Dm]may you be in [Am]Heaven before the De [C]- vil knows you're [G]dead
And [Dm]may these winds be al[Am] - ways at your back[G]
[CHORUS 2]
And when we're all[F] [G]just ghosts[Am]
And the [C]madness overtakes[G] us
I will look[F] at the ashes
G n.c. G | |
And say, "People lived here."
