Rise Against – Behind Closed Doors (Ukulele)

Am                             C               
Chairs thrown and tables toppled, 

F                              C
Hands armed with broken bottles, 

D                            C
Standing no chance to win but, 

F                  C
We're not running, We're not running, 

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

F                                    C
It's in the air we raise our fists in, 

D                              C
In the smiles we cast each other, 

F         C
My sister, my brother, 

Am                             C
About the time we gave up hoping, 

F                                   C
We never find these locks still open, 

D                          C
Stumbling on stones unturned, 

F                 C                 Am    C
The hurt we feel, we all have earned, 

F   C         D        
The lines we cross in search of change,

C   F                  C      Am
But all they see is treason,

C  F            C         Am        C           F
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive, 

          C                Am         C          F
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         C           Am
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              F       C     Am
Behind closed doors, 

Am                       C
Bonfires burn like beacons, 

F                           C
Guiding the lost and weakened, 

D                            C
Flames dance on crashing waves, 

F                              C
Guiding ships who've gone astray, 

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

              C                 D
We've all got better things to do, 

             C               F
Than talk in circles, run in place, 

        C               Am
Answers inches from our face, 

F x3              C x3
Black eyes, broken fingers, 

F x3              C x3        Am
Blood drips and I let it run,

             C    Am                C
Down my lips    into my swollen gums, 

F x3          C x3
When hope is nonexistent,

F x3             C x3          Am
Our instincts all scream "Run!"

         C  Am               C                      F
We never   turn our backs or even bite our tongues, 

C  F            C         Am        C           F
  Although we have no obligation to stay alive, 

          C                Am         C          F
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive, 

         C           Am
Breakout, I won't be left here, 

              F       C     Am
Behind closed doors,
