21 GUNS

Intro: Dm – A# – F – C (x2)

Verse:
Dm     A#                F        C
Do you know what’s worth fighting for,
Dm        A#        F      C
When it’s not worth dying for?
Dm      A#        F      C
Does it take your breath away
A#                         C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm       A#         F       C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm        A#       F        C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm      A#             F      C
Did someone break your heart inside?
A#                        C5
You’re in ruins

Chorus:
F5   C5*  D5
One, 21 guns
C5            A#5
Lay down your arms
F5          C5
Give up the fight
F5   C5*  D5
One, 21 guns
C5            A#5  F5       C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A#5   F5    C5
You and I

Verse:
Dm          A#     F          C
When you’re at the end of the road
Dm      A#       F        C
And you lost all sense of control
Dm        A#           F           C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
A#                                       C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm   A#             F      C
Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm      A#       F       C
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Dm        A#   F        C
Nothing’s ever built to last
A#                 C5
You’re in ruins.

Chorus:
F5   C5*  D5
One, 21 guns
C5            A#5
Lay down your arms
F5          C5
Give up the fight
F5   C5*  D5
One, 21 guns
C5            A#5  F5       C5
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A#5   F5    C5
You and I

Bridge:
Dm      A#     F            C
Did you try to live on your own
Dm       A#               F        A
When you burned down the house and home?
Dm      A#         F           A
Did you stand too close to the fire?
A#m                          C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
Dm      A#        F       C
And you can’t get another try
Dm         A#         F         C
Something inside this heart has died
A#                 C5
You’re in ruins.
