Intro:
Am' | F | C | C x2


Verse 1:
Am'    F      C   (C)
My god is better than yours.
Am'         F      C      G     F
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.
C       G     Am   F   C      G'
I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off.
F   C      G     Am   F (F)    G   (G)
And I burned every picture of yours, was that not enough?

Am'    F      C   (C)
My gun is bigger than yours,
Am'       F     C      G      F
So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then.
C         G   Am   F     C      G'
Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours.
F   C   G      Am  F  (F)  G   (G)
Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours?


Chorus 1:
Dm            Am      C          G
These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway.
Dm         Am          C   G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray.
F    (Cmaj9/G) Am      C     G
As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears,
F      (F)  (F)       G*
I will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"


Interlude:
Am' | F | C | C x2


Verse 2:
Am*      F*     C*   (C)
My dreams are not unlike yours,
Am*        F*     C*      G*     F
They long for the safety and break like a glass chandelier.
C            G      Am  F       C      G'
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
F      C     G       Am   F       (F)  G  (G)
And there is chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.


Chorus 2:
Dm      Am        C         G
May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead.
Dm         Am      C   G
May these winds be always at your back.
F        (Cmaj9/G) Am       C      G
'Cause when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,
F      (F)   (F)       G*
We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."


Bridge:
G^
Am | C | F | F x2

Am         C   F  (F)
From the penthouse to the holy martyr,
Am   C    F  (F)
Sea to shining sea,
Am        C    F  (F)
From the coffins full of kindergartners,
Am      C    F  (F)
Is this what you call free?
Am         C     F    (F)
From the hate that drips from all your crosses,
Am    C    F   (F)
Are your hands so clean?
Am     C      F    (F)
And the wildfire, it is spreading far,
Am     C    G  (G)
From sea to shining sea.


End:
F*    (Cmaj9/G*) Am*      C*     G*
When we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,
F^            G^
I will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the sky,
F^                 G*          Am
