Word just came from upstate Joe
AmCFC
Lower the flag again
AmCFC
This time it's Dayton, southwest Ohio
AmCFC
Last night El Paso, Texas counted 22 dead

[Verse]
AmCFC
Soon the brass will offer up their thoughts and prayers
AmCFC
Soon there'll be protests in the street
AmC
And the media from out of town
FC
Will chew it up and spit it out
[Pre-Chorus]
AmC
Then move on to the next one
FC
Before we even grieve
AmC
Yeah, then move on to the next one
G
Before we even grieve
[Chorus]
FCAmC
Some say we start to die on the day that we're born
FC
But no one wants to live life on their knees
FCAmC
Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born
AmGC
But we deserve to live life in between
[Instrumental]

AmCFC
A husband kissed the cross that bears his Margie's name
AmCFC
And promises he'll see her once again
AmC
Won't see her children grow
FC
Won't see their love grow old
[Pre-Chorus]
AmC
Last night their dream became a nightmare
FC
And their nightmare has no end
AmC
Last night their dream became a nightmare
G
And their nightmare has no end
[Chorus]
FCAmC
Some say we start to die on the day that we're born
FC
But no one wants to live life on their knees
FCAmC
Maybe we start to die on the day that we're born
AmGC
But we deserve to live life in between
[Bridge]
FC
These days it's hard to sleep
AmC
When I lay my head down
FC
What if it was your loved one
G
Laying on the ground
FC
I'm left to think about
AmC
What if, what now?
FC
Dear God I wanna pray
FC
But tonight I have my doubts
FCG
When I think about those families now
[Instrumental]
