INTRO: D
D A
It was the coldest night of the year,
C G
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere,
D
The moon was just a sliver,
A
The light was fading,
C
The war was on its way,
G
And we were waiting,
Bb A
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C Bb (ring out)
So I answered with only just one reply,
D Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
D Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
D Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
D Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
D A
A house made out of glass will surely shatter,
C G
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders,
D
The ground, it started shaking,
A
The bombs are falling,
C
We could've walked away,
G
We had a warning,
Bb A
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side,
C Bb
So I answered with only just one reply,
D Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
D Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
D Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
D Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
D
So lay your burden down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,
D
So lay your burden down, baby,
C
Lead me out the door,
G
We can't escape this ricochet,
A
I'm ready for this war,
D Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
D Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
D Bb
Till the casket drops,
G A
Till my dying day,
D Bb
Till my heartbeat stops,
G A
Till my legs just break,
D Bb
Whoa, oh, whoa,
G A
whoa, whoa, oh,
D Bb
Whoa, whoa, oh,
G A
Till the casket drops,
