Verse
F# B B F#
You call them soldiers, I call them friends,
Bb Ebm Abm Db
From different countries I've never met.

You call them heroes after they die,
Bb Ebm Abm Db
After you pay them, and steal their lives.

You call it high school, but all I learned
Bb Ebm Abm Db
Is that there's something wrong with the earth,
F# B B F# Bb Ebm Abm Db
And all your politics are just a dirty trick to keep us feeling sick, and keep us arguing.
Pre-Chorus
Bb Ebm Abm Bb Ebm
Your bullets and your stones can pierce right through my bones,
Bb Ebm B Db
But this heart remains my own, and I will always have control!
F# Ebm Abm Db
And when our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind
F# Ebm
Is that the devil holds their throats.
Abm Dbm B
And only heaven holds your soul, so don't let go.

Until I chose to just do what I do.

And wrote my love songs, so I could find some sunshine in the rain;
Abm Bb Ebm Bb Ebm
A way to stop my pain, and now I understand

We will burn into the sun,

The moon will shine upon

The distant earth that it once loved.

The stars will sing a song,

For all the humans who got lost inside themselves...

And left the whole wide world to burn in hell.
