Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x4

Verse

Bang Bang go the coffin nails

 Like a breath exhaled and gone forever

Seems like just yesterday

How did I miss the red flags

Raised? Think back to days we laughed

 We braved these bitter storms together

Brought to his knees he cried,

But on his feet he died

Pre-chorus

What God could damn a har-eart?

 And what God drove us apa-hart (“Apart”)?

  N/C

What God co-hould (“Could”)

Chorus

Make it stop, let this end

 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

It’s come this, a weightless step

 On the way down singing

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

 Post-Chorus: x2

Verse

Bang bang from the closet walls

 The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun’s loaded

Push me and I’ll push back

I’m done asking, I demand

From a nation under God

 I feel its love like a cattle prod

I’m born free but still they hate

I’m born me, no, I can’t change

Pre-chorus

It’s always darkest just before the dawn

 So stay awake with me

 N/C

LETS PROVE THEM WRONG

Chorus

 Make it stop, let this end

 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge.

It’s come this, a weightless step

 On the way down singing

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Bridge

The cold river washed him away

 But how could we forget

 The gatherings hold candles

But not their tongues

 And too much blood has flown from the wrists

 Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss

 Who will rise to stop the blood?

 We’re counting for, insisting on

 A different beat, yeah, a brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

A brand new song-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Chorus

Make it stop, make this end

 This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin.

 And proud I stand of who I am

 I plan to go on living!

Make it stop, make this end

 All these years pushed to the ledge.

And proud I stand of who I am

 I plan to go on living!
