[Verse 1]
Em' C G G
My god is better than yours.
Em' C G D C
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.
G D Em C G D ^
I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off.
CAnd I Gburned every Dpicture of Emyours, Cwas that not enough? D
Em' C G G
My gun is bigger than yours,
Em' C G D C
So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then.
G D Em C G D ^
Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours.
CDo you Gcry my Dname in the Emdark,C like I do yours? D
[Chorus 1]
These Amstorms are getting Emstronger now, Gtrusses all bend and Dsway.
AmLightning hits, the Empower goes out in the Gfray. D
CAs the waves crash high and Emthe shorelineG disappearDs,
CI will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"D*

[My dreams are..]
[Verse 2]
EmMy dreams are Cnot unlike Gyours,
They Emlong for the Csafety and Gbreak like a Dglass chandelCier.
G D Em C G D ^
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
CAnd there is Gchaos when Dpush comes to Emshove, Cbut it's music to my ears. D
[Chorus 2]
AmMay you be in Emheaven before the Gdevil knows you're Ddead.
AmMay these winds be aEmlways at your Gback. D
C'Cause when we're all just ghosts anEmd the madness oGvertakes us,D
CWe will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here.D*"
[Bridge]

Em | G | C | C x2
EmFrom the penthouse Gto the Choly martyr,
EmSea to Gshining Csea,
EmFrom the coffins Gfull of Ckindergartners,
EmIs this what Gyou call Cfree?
EmFrom the hate that Gdrips from Call your crosses,
EmAre your Ghands so Cclean?
EmAnd the wildGfire, it is Cspreading far,
EmFrom sea to Gshining Dsea.
[End:]
When we're C*all jD*ust gEm*hosts and the mG*adness overtD*akes us,
I will Cscream to the sky, yeah I'll Dscream to the sky,
Yeah I'll Cscream to the sky: "Hey, D*people live here."
