Rise Against - The violence

^EmDancing on the crumbling^C5 precipice The ro^D5cks are coming loose just at the e^A5dge Are we l^Emaughing? Are we cr^C5ying? Are ^D5we drowning? Are we d^A5ead? Em[loop until next verse] Or is it all a dream?

^EmThe bombs are getting closer ev^C5eryday "That can never^D5 happen here" we u^A5sed to say ^EmHave these wars come to our do^C5orstep? Has this mo^D5ment finally come?^A5 Em[loop till chorus] Or is it all a dream?

Are we not g^Emood enough? Are we not br^Gave enough? Is the viol^Dmence in our nature just the im^Amage of our maker? Are we not g^Emood enough? Are we not br^Gave enough? To become ^Dmsomething greater Than the vio^Amlence in our nature? C[Just use downstrums until the Em chord, I just did doubles at a faster tempo...] Are we not good..good enough Em[muted again] Or is it all a dream?

^EmTo a predetermined fate are we cond^C5emned Or ma^D5ybe we're a book without an e^A5nd We're not s^Emtories, we're not act^C5ors We're aw^D5ake and in contr^A5ol And this is not a dre^Emam

So can we ^Embreak this mold And set in m^C5otion something new Forget^D5ting what we know An evol^A5ution overdue Em[half the strums of the others...] Fight the current C5[same as the Em] Pull the ripcord D5[Hammer it like the chorus C, then pause] Get away!

Are we not g^Emood enough? Are we not b^Grave enough? Is the vio^Dmlence in our nature just the ima^Amge of our maker? Are we not go^Emod enough? Are we not br^Gave enough? To become^Dm something greater Than the vio^Amlence in our nature? C[pound it like the first chorus] Are we not good, good enough?

^DmWe travel back to what we take We ne^Amed a storm, let's pray for ra^Cin now To wa^Gsh these roads away ^{Em Dm}Let's get off track and wander far ^AmSame roads lead to same desti^Cnations G Em[use like C in chorus, then slow down to a palm mute] Follow nothing but your heart

We'r^Eme talking in our slee^Gp And sle^Dmeping through our ^Amlives We d^Emream of the ^Gplaces where ^Dmwe never d^Amie We s^Emtep from our s^Ghadows and i^Dmnto the lig^Amht

Are we not g^Emood enough? Are we not b^Grave enough? Is the viol^Dmence in our nature just the im^Amage of our maker? Are we not go^Emod enough? Are we not br^Gave enough? To become^Dm something greater Than the vio^Amlence in our nature? Are we not g^Emood enoug^Gh? Are we not br^Dmave enou^Amgh? C[Stop hammering at like 'was' on the next line and pause] Are we not good, good enough? Em[Single down strum] Or was it all a dream?
