Chords

[Instrumental Intro] Am Dm x4 [Verse 1]
       Am             F
As the sun goes down, I move around

Em             Am
Keeping to the shadows

                 F
Life, hangs by a thread

         Dm
And I've heard it said,

Am
that I'll not see tomorrow
[Verse 2]
          Am                        F
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be

                   Dm
So I'll face the future

Dm
Running out of time

F
I'm on the line,

Dm                   Am
but I'll go down fighting
[Verse 3]
Am
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
F
Threw me out upon the street

       G
In the middle of the night

Am
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
F
Pneumatic fingers nearly

E
Had me in their vice
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    Dm
Not begging you

            E
I'm telling you
[Chorus]
Am
You won't break me
You won't make me
F
You won't take me

      G          Am
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
          G
You won't take me

     F
I'll fight you under

G           Am
Blood red skies
[Verse 4]
Am
Through a shattered city,
Watched by laser eyes
F
Overhead the night squad glides

    G
The decaying paradise

Am
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
F
Scans the bleak horizon,

        E
For its victim of the night
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        Am
They're closing in

              G
They'll never win
[Chorus]
Am
You won't break me

          F
You won't make me

          G
You won't take me

      Am
Under blood red skies

Am
You won't break me

          F
You won't take me

     G
I'll fight you

      Am
Under blood red skies
[Bridge] A5 G5_F5 A5 G5_F5 Am G
G                         F
As the end is drawing near
Am standing proud, I won't give in to fear
                          G
As I die a legend will be born

E
I will stand, I will fight

E                    Am
You'll never take me alive

I'll stand my ground

           E
I won't go down
[Chorus]
Am
You won't break me

F
You won't take me

         G
Cos I’ll fight you

                 Am
Under blood red skies

Am
You won't break me

          F
You won't take me

         G
Cos I'll face you under

           Am
Blood red skies
