^AmChairs thrown and^F tables toppled, ^AmHands armed with^F broken bottles, ^AmStanding no^G chance to win but, ^AmWe're not^F running, ^Amwe're not^G running.

am, f am, f am, f am, f, am, g

^AmThere's a point I^F think we're missing, ^AmIt's in the air we raise^F our fists in, ^AmIn the smiles we^g cast each other, ^AmMy ^F sister, ^Am my ^g brother.

About the time we gave up hoping We'd ever find these locks still open, Stumbling on stones unturned, The hurt we feel, we all have earned.

^AmThe lines we^g cross in search of change,^Am but all^F they see is^Am treason.^E

^AmAlthough we^F have no obliga^Amtion to^F stay^g ali^Amve ^AmOn broken^F backs we beg^Am for mercy, we^F will^g sur^Amvive (Break out) I won't be^F left here ^FBehind^g closed^Am doors.

Bonfires burn like beacons, Guiding the lost and weakened. Flames dance on crashing waves, Guiding ships who've gone astray

^AmTime out, let's^F stop and think this^Am through, ^AmWe've all got^F better things to do,^Am ^AmThan talk in^g circles, run in place,^Am Answers^F inches from our face.^E

Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.

^AmBlack eyes,^F broken fingers, ^AmBlood drips and I let it^C run down my lips into my swollen^Am gums. ^AmWhen hope^F is non-existent, ^AmOur instincts all scream^C "Run", We never^g turn our backs or even bite our^Am tongues.

Although we have no obligation to stay alive On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive (Break out) I won't be left here Behind closed doors.
