G6 320000 C/D xx0010 [Intro] Em G D C Em G D C Em G6 C/D C Em G6 C/D C [Verse 1]
    Em  D   Em         G        Em
I'm calling out, only echoes respond

D       C                    G
  But I scream 'til my voice is gone

Em          D  Em            G         Em
  Crouching in corners and hiding your face

D              C           G            Em
  I'm sick and tired of playing your games

             D  Em          G         Em
I'm not alone,    I stand amongst the voiceless

D                 C    G      Em
  Millions in the unforgiving sun

Em               D  Em     G                Em
  Here arm-in-arm,    we parade these streets

             C                   D
And sing our songs (and sing our songs)
[Chorus]
            Em
We've had enough

   G          D        C         Em
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)

   G        D           C         Em
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)

G           D            C          Em              G     D     C
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
[Verse 2]
Em     D     Em              G        Em
  Unknowing, we lie and wait for the rain

D    C              G
  To wash away what they have made

Em          D      Em                  G     Em
  Face down in the dirt with your foot on my back

D        C          G            Em
  In the distance I hear thunder crack

                  D Em           G
Come on, stand up!    This system

   Em        D             C       G          Em
Of power and privilege is about to come to an end

                     D Em              G
Here come the clouds,     the first drop

   Em      D  C          D
Is falling down (falling down)
[Chorus]
            Em
We've had enough

   G          D        C         Em
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)

   G        D           C         Em
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)

G           D            C          Em              G     D     C
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
[Bridge] B B Em C G Em C D Em C G D C G
    Em              C     G
Our futures burn in red horizons

Em                    C        D
   Ashes scattered in winds of change

Em          C        G
Casualty numbers are rising

D        C       G         Em
Now it's time to raise the stakes

                C         G
We're meant for something more

     Em             C        D      Em
Than living just to put food on our plates

        C        G
I can't help but wonder

D          C     G   Em
Why should we participate?
Em [Chorus]
               Em
Now we've had enough

   G          D        C         Em
Is there even anything left to explain? (We've had enough)

   G        D           C         Em
Am I really someone you need to restrain? (We've had enough)

G           D            C          Em              G     D    D    C   C   Em
Can't you listen to what we have to say? (We've had enough)
