Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de [Intro] Dm Am Bb Dm C Bb Dm Am Bb Dm C Bb [Verse]
        Dm             Am           Bb
Here we are again with handguns for hearts

           Dm                     C        Bb
They had a master plan, wanted to tear us apart

   Dm
Nothing to hold I'll hope to lead it

Am             Bb             Dm
Our demise has been completed now

        Bb      C
Nowhere left to go but
[Chorus]
F C Am    Bb
Down, the flames of hell they give me hope

  F C Am     Bb
I drowned in oceans of this tragic part of

F C Am      Bb
Town, where nothing's heard for miles but the

F C Am            Bb                C           Dm
Sound of children wishing they were safely underground
[Interlude] Dm Am Bb Dm C Bb [Verse 2]
           Dm                           Am           Bb
We are the walking burned, we hold this close to our arms

            Dm                         C       Bb
We take our daily breath and thank our unlucky scars

      Dm
Tried to get by on bread and water

Am                   Bb             Dm
Craving blood poured from the alter now

         Bb      C
Not much left to do but
[Chorus 2]
F C Am   Bb
Drown in flames of miscommunication

F C Am       Bb
Down and out and often in search for someone

F C Am    Bb
Proud to translate what we truly dream

F C Am    Bb                C           Dm    C# C
About, as we lay in this bed thinking out loud
[Bridge]
Dm
Dreaming uncle mercy me
In my broken telepathy
                  C#
For I'm left with nothing but this

C               B
Bloodless river bank, West Memphis

Bb                                F C Am Bb
Please, may you start praying for me
[Chorus 3]
F C Am    Bb
Down, the flames of hell they give me hope

  F C Am     Bb
I drowned in oceans of this tragic part of

F C Am      Bb
Town, where nothing's heard for miles but the

F C Am            Bb                C           Dm
Sound of children wishing they were safely underground
