Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Play E at standard 16ths until he starts singing, listen to song for the

strumming pattern, really simple and constant throughout the song.

Downright hopelessness

When the wrath of consequence comes

Knocking on that old front door

 And we count the ways

the seconds that fall into place with

the emptiness don’t hold the phone

 I know some are counting on

God above or methadone

 to kill the wake and take away the pain

 I feel for the lost and empathize the cost

 For calamity from what I’ve seen

 Open up and wail Open up and cry

 We are not the type and far young to die

 In a rattled cage heads against the wall

 Through dangerous nights

 No more lullabies, open up and wail

We’ve got what it takes

 Everything that needs to make a fighting chance

 At carrying the load of falling day to day

 A gruesome cold reality square in the nose

 Bleeding to the toes

 Open up and wail Open up and cry

 We are not the type and far young to die

 In a rattled cage heads against the wall

 Through dangerous nights

 No more lullabies

 Open up and wail Open up and cry

 We are not the type and far young to die

 In a rattled cage heads against the wall

 Through dangerous nights

 No more lullabies, open up and wail

 Open up and wail

Thanks...
