[Intro] Am' | F | C | C x2 [Verse 1]
Am'       F           C     (C)
My god is better than yours.

Am'                 F            C            G          F
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.

C              G          Am     F      C           G'
I followed you out in the storm, but it carried you off.

F     C            G          Am     F  (F)       G      (G)
And I burned every picture of yours, was that not enough?

Am'       F           C     (C)
My gun is bigger than yours,

Am'              F          C            G           F
So let's arm the masses and see what the bastards do then.

C                 G      Am     F         C           G'
Walking tall once set us apart, now we're down on all fours.

F      C      G           Am    F   (F)   G     (G)
Do you cry my name in the dark, like I do yours?
[Chorus 1]
Dm                       Am            C                    G
These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway.

Dm                  Am                    C     G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray.

        F    Cmaj9/G Am           C         G
As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears,

F            (F)    (F)             G*
I will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"
[Interlude] Am' | F | C | C x2 [Verse 2]
Am*           F*         C*     (C)
My dreams are not unlike yours,

Am*               F*         C*           G*          F
They long for the safety and break like a glass chandelier.

C                        G           Am    F             C           G'
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.

F            C          G             Am     F             (F)    G    (G)
And there is chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.
[Chorus 2]
Dm            Am                C                  G
May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead.

Dm                  Am            C     G
May these winds be always at your back.

                  F  Cmaj9/G Am             C           G
'Cause when we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,

F           (F)     (F)             G*
We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."
[Bridge] G^ Am | C | F | F x2
Am                 C      F   (F)
From the penthouse to the holy martyr,

Am     C       F   (F)
Sea to shining sea,

Am               C       F    (F)
From the coffins full of kindergartners,

Am           C        F    (F)
Is this what you call free?

Am                 C          F       (F)
From the hate that drips from all your crosses,

Am       C        F     (F)
Are your hands so clean?

Am          C           F        (F)
And the wildfire, it is spreading far,

Am          C       G   (G)
From sea to shining sea.
[End]
           F*  Cmaj9/G* Am*            C*          G*
When we're all just ghosts and the madness overtakes us,
F^ G^ I will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the sky,
F^                                 G*                   Am
Yeah I'll scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here."
