VERSE 1:
 Am    F        C
 My God is better than yours
     Am     F      C      G
 And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all

REFRAIN 1:
F  C        G      Am
 I followed you out in the storm
F    C       G
 But it carried you off
             d#|-------------|
             A#|-3/5-3---1---|
             F#|-0---0---0---|
             C#|-0---0---0---|
             G#|-------------|
             D#|-------------|
               1 + 2 + 3 +
F    C        G       Am
 And I burned every pic - ture of yours
F            G | | | |
 Was that not enough?


VERSE 2:
Am    F        C
My gun is bigger than yours
  Am        F     C        G     F
So let's arm the mas - ses and see what the bas - tards do then


REFRAIN 2:
(F)    C     G      Am
  Walking tall once set us apart
 F      C          G
  Now we're down on all fours
                  d#|-------------|
                  A#|-3/5-3---1---|
                  F#|-0---0---0---|
                  C#|-0---0---0---|
                  G#|-------------|
                  D#|-------------|
                    1 + 2 + 3 +
 F    C     G      Am
  Do you cry my name in the dark
 F      G   | | | |
  like I do yours?


PRE-CHORUS 1:
   Dm         Am
These storms are getting stronger now
  C          G
The trusses all bend and sway
Dm         Am            G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray


CHORUS 1:
      F G     Am
As the waves crash high
       C        G
And the shore - line disappears
     F
And I'll scream to the sky
   G n.c.
"Hey, people live here."


INTERLUDE 1:
Am | F | C | |
Am | F | C | |


VERSE 3:
 Am        F    C
 My dreams are not unlike yours
    Am        F       C      G
 They long for the safe - ty and break like a glass chandelier


REFRAIN 3:
F       C        G       Am
 But there's laughter and oh, there is love
 F         C      G
 Just past the edge of our fears
F       C     G         Am
 And there's chaos when push comes to shove
      F        G | | |
 But it's music to my ears


PRE-CHORUS 2:
  Dm      Am          C         G
And may you be in Heaven before the De - vil knows you're dead
  Dm          Am         G
And may these winds be al - ways at your back


CHORUS 2:
         F G     Am
And when we're all just ghosts
    C        G
And the madness overtakes us
      F
I will look at the ashes
     G n.c.       G | |
And say, "People lived here."


INTERLUDE 2:

Am  | Csus2 | Fmaj7sus2 | |
Am  | Csus2 | Fmaj7sus2 |


BRIDGE:
               (continue same hammer-on as above,
               no ringing high E string)
     Am    Csus2    Fsus2
From the penthouse   to the ho - ly martyr
   Am  Csus2    Fsus2
From sea to   shining   sea
     Am   Csus2    Fsus2
From the coffins   full of kindergartners
  Am    Csus2   Fsus2
Is this what you call free?
    x02210
     Am    G       Fsus2
From the hate that drips from all   of your crosses
Am      G     Fsus2 | Fmaj7sus2
Are your hands so clean?
       Am    G     Fsus2
And there's a wildfire, and it's spreading far
   Am  G    F | | G | | G (ring) |
From sea to shining sea


FINAL CHORUS:
     xx321x xx543x   xx755x
       F G     Am
When we're all just ghosts
    xx555x
    C        G
And the madness overtakes us
    F
I will scream to the sky,
     G
yeah I'll scream to the sky
       F
I will scream to the sky
            x02010 hammer-on x02210
   G n.c.      Am
