[Verse]
G                 C         D        G
It seemed like everyone I knew was dying

C                  D                 G
I looked in the mirror and I was on fire

G            D             C               G
Somebody yelled out "hey, stop, drop, and roll!"

G                            Em           D            G
I said "that might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.

G                    C            D            G
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul" 

G             D             C      G
You swallow hard and you bottle it up

G           C             D        G
Try to pretend you're a half full cup

G                      D                       G
Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up

G                  Em          D            G
While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt

G             C          D             G
I'm reading books about how they're corrupt 
[Chorus]
D               C                    G
He says he protecting us but he's a liar

D            C              G
I know deep down that it's down to the wire

D               C        G 
My heart will stop if I put out the fire

D                C
As long as I'm burning

D                C
I'll keep on yearning

D             C
To save the world

C         D             G
Not sure how but I'm learning 
[Verse]
G                C           D         G
Since what they call the beginning of man

G               C            D           G
Blood has been shed for the rape of the land

G               C        D         G
They call it civilized, I call it crap

G         Em         D            G
Our only hope is to look further back

G         C          D            G
Our only hope is to look further back 

G              C             D         G
If we really want for this world to survive

G                C           D         G
We'll just take what we need to stay alive

G          C            D            G
It's a mistake to just take and not give

G              Em            D        G
It's not true that we must murder to live

G               C           D         G
It's not true that we must murder to live 
[Chorus]
D               C                    G
He says he protecting us but he's a liar

D            C              G
I know deep down that it's down to the wire

D               C        G 
My heart will stop if I put out the fire

D                C
As long as I'm burning

D                C
I'll keep on yearning

D             C
To save the world

C         D             G
Not sure how but I'm learning 
[Verse]
G                 C             D            G
And telling the truth the best way that I'm able

G           C                         G
Placing my cards all face up on the table

G                 D                C           G
It's okay to be scared, you don't have to act tough

G              Em           D        G
Take all that pain and turn it into love

G               C           D        G
Take all that pain and turn it into love 

G               C          D            G
And let your emotions be fuel to your flame

G          C         D       G
Being on fire will keep you awake

G              D              C              G
If somebody yells out "hey, stop, drop, and roll!"

G                        Em           D            G
Say "that might save my skin, but it won't save my soul.

G                         C      D             G
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul"
