[Intro]
E
Play for straight sixteenths til the
 lyrics start and listen to the song
 for the strumming pattern.

E
Downright hopelessness

When the wrath of consequence comes
A
Knocking on that old front door
    B
And we count the ways

the seconds that fall into place 
with
A
the emptiness don’t hold the phone
  E
I know some are counting on

Continues after the ad
Remove ads
God above or methadone
   A
to kill the wake and take away the 
pain
  B
I feel for the lost and empathize 
the cost
       A                    A
For calamity from what I’ve seen

            E                B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
               C#m                 
We are not the type and far young 
  A2
to die
             E                     
In a rattled cage heads against the
 B
 wall
                  C#m
Through dangerous nights
             A2                B2 
No more lullabies, open up and 
    A2 G# F#
wail

E
We’ve got what it takes
Everything that needs to make a 
A
fighting chance
                        B
At carrying the load of falling day 
to day
                               A
A gruesome cold reality square in 
the nose
                A
Bleeding to the toes

            E                B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
               C#m                 
We are not the type and far young 
  A2
to die
             E                     
In a rattled cage heads against the
 B
 wall
                  C#m
Through dangerous nights
             A2
No more lullabies
            E2               B
Open up and wail Open up and cry
               C#m                 
We are not the type and far young 
  A2
to die
             E2                    
In a rattled cage heads against the
 B
 wall
                  C#m
Through dangerous nights
             A2                B2
No more lullabies, open up and wail
            E
Open up and wail
