  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah

  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah
Am C G D Dm Am C G D Dm [Verse]
Am                   C
 Bang, bang, go the coffin nails

          G                   D      Dm
 Like a breath exhaled, then gone forever

Am                   C
 It seems like just yesterday

G                    D    Dm   Am
 How did I miss the red flags raised?

                    C
 Think back, to the days we laughed

      G                   D       Dm
 We braved these bitter storms together

Am                C
 Brought to his knees, he cried

G            D    Dm F
 But on his feet he died

       G                Am
 What God would damn a heart?

           C             F
 And what God drove us apart?

       G
 What God could?
[Chorus]
Am         C            G
 Make it stop, let this end

           D                   Am
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

                C                  G
 It's come to this, a weightless step

         Dm
 On the way down singing

  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah

  F     F G G7
 Woah, woooooah
Am C G D Dm Am C G D Dm [Verse]
Am                      C
 Bang, bang, from the closet walls

        G                     D        Dm
 The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun's loaded

Am           C
 Push me and I'll push back

G                 D Dm Am
 I'm done asking, I demand

               C
 From a nation under God

G                        D       Dm
 I feel its love like a cattle prod

Am                   C
 I'm born free but still they hate

G                 D  Dm     F
 I'm born me, no, I can't change

      G               Dm
 It's always darkest just before the dawn

      F              G
 So stay awake with me

                    Am
 Let's prove them wrong
[Chorus]
           C            G
 Make it stop, let this end

           D                   Am
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge

                C                  G
 It's come to this, a weightless step

         Dm
 On the way down singing

  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah

  F     F G G7
 Woah, woooooah
[Verse]
Am               G
 The cold river washed him away

      Em              F
 But how could we forget?

     Am             G
 The gathering hold candles

F
 But not their tongues

      Am                  G
 And too much blood has flown from the wrist

          Em                 F                   Am
 Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss

           G                 F
 Who will rise to stop the blood

               Am              C
 We're calling for, insisting on

              F                       Am
 A different beat, yeah, a brand new song
[Bridge] Tyler Clementi, Age 18 (Am C G D Dm)

Harrison Chase Brown, Age 15   (Am C G D Dm)
Cody J. Barker, Age 17 (Am C G) Seth Walsh, Age 13 (D Dm) [Chorus]
Am         C            G
 Make it stop, let this end

                  D                   Am
 This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin

               C             G
 But proud I stand, of who I am

            Dm
 I plan to go on living

Am         C            G
 Make it stop, let this end

            D                   Am
 All these years pushed to the ledge

               C             G
 But proud I stand, of who I am

            Dm
 I plan to go on living
