And the ^Emwalls of my ^Chouse are so ^Gthick I hear ^Dnothing at ^Call. G D Em C G D ^ I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off. C G D Em C (C) D (D) And I burned every picture of yours, was that not enough?

Em C G (G) My gun is bigger than yours,

So ^Emlet's arm the ^Cmasses and ^Gsee what the ^Dbastards do ^Cthen. G D Em C G D ^ Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours. C G D Em C (C) D (D) Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours?

Chorus 1:

These ^Amstorms are getting ^Emstronger now, ^Gtrusses all bend and ^Dsway. ^AmLightning hits, the ^Empower goes out in the ^Gfray. ^D C (D) Em G D As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears, C (C) (C) D* I will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"

Em | C | G | G x2 Verse 2: Em C G (G) My dreams are not unlike yours,

They ^Emlong for the ^Csafety and ^Gbreak like a ^Dglass chandel^Cier. G D Em C G D ^ But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears. C G D Em C (C) D (D) And there is chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

Chorus 2:

^AmMay you be in ^Emheaven before the ^Gdevil knows you're ^Ddead. ^AmMay these winds be a^Emlways at your ^Gback. ^D C (D) Em G D 'Cause when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us, C (C) (C) D* We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."

Bridge: D Em | G | C | C x2 Em G C (C) From the penthouse to the holy martyr, Em G C (C) Sea to shining sea, Em G C (C) From the coffins full of kindergartners, Em G C (C) Is this what you call free? Em G C (C) From the hate that drips from all your crosses, Em G C (C) Are your hands so clean? Em G C (C) And the wildfire, it is spreading far, Em G D (D) From sea to shining sea. End: C* (D*) Em* G* D* When we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,

I will ^Cscream to the sky, yeah I'll ^Dscream to the sky, C D* (Am) Yeah I'll scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here."
