Am F C C Am F C C


Verse 1

Am        F           C       C
My god is better than yours.

        Am          F            
And the walls of my house are so 
C            G          F
thick I hear nothing at all.

  C            G          Am     
I followed you out in the storm  
F         C           G     G     F
   but it carried you off.

      C            G          Am 
And I burned every picture of 
    F        F          G      G G G
yours,      was that not e-nough?


Verse 2

Am        F           C       C
My gun is bigger than yours,

   Am            F          C    
So let's arm the masses and see 
        G           F
what the bastards do then.

        C         G        Am    
Walking tall once set us a-part, 
F            C           G       
   now we're down on all fours.
G     F


       C      G           Am     
Do you cry my name in the dark,  
F       F    G         G G G
   like I do yours?


Chorus 1

      Dm         Dm      Am       
These storms are getting stronger 
Am   C       C            G      G
now, trusses all bend and sway.

Dm        Dm        Am         
Lightning hits, the power goes 
Am         G     G G G
out in the fray.

       F     G     Am   Am      
As the waves crash high       
      C      C      G       G
and the shoreline disappears,

       F   F         F   F       
I will scream to the sky:    
  G                    Am F C C 
"Hey, people live here!"
Am F C C



Verse 3

Am            F          C       C
My dreams are not unlike yours,

     Am           F          C   
They long for the safety and 
         G            F
break like a glass chande-lier.

            C            G        
But there's laughter and oh there 
   Am    F             C          
is love, just past the edge of our
 G       G    F
 fears.

            C          G          
And there's chaos when push comes 
   Am              F     F       
to shove, but it's music   to my 
G    G G G
ears.


Chorus 2

Dm      Dm    Am     Am         
May you be in heaven before the 
C   C               G      G
de-vil knows you're dead.

Dm        Dm       Am    Am    
May these winds be always   at 
     G     G G G
your back.

                  F   G    Am   
'Cause when we're all just 
Am         C    C      G        
ghosts  and the madness overtakes 
 G
us,

        F   F       F   F       
We will look at the ashes and 
    G-             G       Am F 
say: "People lived here."
C C Am F C C



Bridge

         Am   G           C 
From the penthouse to the holy 
   F
martyr,

Am     G         F     F
Sea to   shining sea,

         Am   G        
From the coffins full of 
  C     F
kindergarteners,

   Am        G        F      F
Is this what you call free?

         Am        G          C  
From the hate that drips from all
      F
 your crosses,

Am       G        F        F
Are your hands so clean?

          Am       G        
There's a wildfire   and it's 
  C         F
spreading far,

     Am     G         F    F G G G G
From sea to   shining sea.


Final Chorus

           F   G    Am           
When we're all just ghosts  and 
   C           G
the madness overtakes us,

       F   F         F   F      
I will scream to the sky,   yeah
      G   G         G   G
 I'll scream to the sky,

          F   F         F   F   
Yeah I'll scream to the sky:   
     G-              Am
"Hey, people live here."
