Rise Against – Behind Closed Doors (Guitar)

Em                           D   C           
Chairs thrown and tables toppled, 

                                G Am
Hands armed with broken bottles, 

                              D C
Standing no chance to win but, 

                  D
We're not running, We're not running, 

                                  D   C 
There's a point I think we're missing,

                                  G    Am
It's in the air we raise our fists in, 

                               D  C
In the smiles we cast each other, 

         D            Em 
My sister, my brother, 

                             D   C 
About the time we gave up hoping, 

                                  G    Am
We never find these locks still open, 

                            D  
Stumbling on stones unturned, 

    C                D                 Em   D C
The hurt we feel, we all have earned, 

          G  Am                        D
The lines we cross in search of change,

    C               D       Em D C
But all they see is treason,

            D           Em             G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,

          D                Em             G  C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         D           Em
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              C  D     Em
Behind closed doors 

                       D   C 
Bonfires burn like beacons, 

                         G    Am
Guiding the lost and weakened, 

                               D
Flames dance on crashing waves, 

C                                Em     
Guiding ships who've gone astray, 

                                D   C
Time out, let's stop to think this through, 

                         G     Am
We've all got better things to do, 

                             C
Than talk in circles, run in place, 

        D               Em
Answers inches from our face, 

D  C            D         Em        G           C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,

          D                Em         G          C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         D           Em
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              C       D     Em
Behind closed doors

C                   D 
Black eyes, broken fingers, 

C                  D     Em
Blood drips and I let it run,

       D Em                       D
Down my lips into my swollen gums, 

C                       D
When hope is nonexistent,

C                 D       Em
Our instincts all scream "Run!"

       D Em                           D  C
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues, 

            D         Em               G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive, 

          D                Em       {N.C.}    C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         D           Em
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              C       D     Em        D    C
Behind closed doors        (Behind closed doors)

            D         Em               G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive, 

          D                Em         G          C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         D           Em
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              C       D     Em
Behind closed doors
