[Verse]
Am          C        F        C
 Word just came from upstate Joe
Am           C    F    C
 Lower the flag again
Am               C                
 This time it's Dayton, southwest 
F  C
Ohio
      Am            C            
Last night El Paso, Texas counted
F   C
 22 dead

[Verse]
Am                   C            
 Soon the brass will offer up 
 F              C
their thoughts and prayers
Am                  C            
 Soon there'll be protests in the
    F    C
 street
        Am         C
And the media from out of town
       F              C
Will chew it up and spit it out


[Pre-Chorus]
     Am                  C
Then move on to the next one
   F             C
Before we even grieve
            Am                 C
Yeah, then move on to the next one
   G
Before we even grieve


[Chorus]
              F       C          
Some say we start to die on the 
Am             C
day that we're born
       F                        
But no one wants to live life on 
   C
their knees
           F       C          Am 
Maybe we start to die on the day 
            C
that we're born
        Am         G         
But we deserve to live life in 
      C
between

   Am                  C      
A husband kissed the cross that 
           F          C
bears his Margie's name
      Am            C         
And promises he'll see her once 
    F     C
again
              Am         C
Won't see her children grow
               F       C
Won't see their love grow old


[Pre-Chorus]
                   Am          
Last night their dream became a 
  C
nightmare
           F               C
And their nightmare has no end
                   Am          
Last night their dream became a 
  C
nightmare
           G
And their nightmare has no end


[Chorus]
              F       C          
Some say we start to die on the 
Am             C
day that we're born
       F                        
But no one wants to live life on 
   C
their knees
           F       C          Am 
Maybe we start to die on the day 
            C
that we're born
        Am         G         
But we deserve to live life in 
      C
between

               F          C
These days it's hard to sleep
           Am       C
When I lay my head down
                F         C
What if it was your loved one
      G
Laying on the ground
           F        C
I'm left to think about
       Am      C
What if, what now?
          F        C
Dear God I wanna pray
               F       C
But tonight I have my doubts
         F     C          G
When I think about those families 
now
