SayWeCanFly – High School (Guitar)

   F#        B        B           F#       
You call them soldiers, I call them friends,

Bb            Ebm      Abm       Db   
From different countries I've never met.

F#           B     B         F#       
You call them heroes after they die,

Bb       Ebm      Abm            Db   
After you pay them, and steal their lives.

F#         B           B        F#       
You call it high school, but all I learned

Bb             Ebm      Abm           Db   
Is that there's something wrong with the earth,

F#   B   B   F#   Bb   Ebm   Abm   Db    
And all your politics are just a dirty trick to keep us feeling sick, and keep us arguing.

     Bb              Ebm       Abm         Bb        Ebm   
Your bullets and your stones can pierce right through my bones,

         Bb              Ebm            B          Db   
But this heart remains my own, and I will always have control!

              F#             Ebm          Abm             Db   
And when our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind

            F#                Ebm   
Is that the devil holds their throats.

         Abm             Db            B   
And only heaven holds your soul, so don't let go.

F#       B    B        F#      
Our generation needs education

Bb      Ebm   Abm     Db   
About creation, not separation.

F#          B      B      F#      
We are the nation, on medication,

Bb      Ebm  Abm          Db   
Our population built on hesitation.

F#          B          B      F#      
See back in high school I never was cool,

Bb     Ebm     Abm         Db   
Until I chose to just do what I do.

F#           B       B        F#      
I skipped my classes, put on my glasses,

Bb          Ebm        Abm       Db       Bb        Ebm  
And wrote my love songs, so I could find some sunshine in the rain;

  Abm   Bb     Ebm      Bb        Ebm   
A way to stop my pain, and now I understand

        B   
That my pain was in their plan!

             F#             Ebm           Abm             Db   
And when our friends begin to die, the only truth they leave behind

            F#               Ebm   
Is that the devil holds their throats.

         Abm              Db           B   
And only heaven holds your soul, so don't let go.

         B              F#   
See when all is said and done,

        Db           Bb                  Ebm         F#   
We will burn into the sun,

                 Ebm           Db   
The moon will shine upon

       F             Db               Bb            Ebm   
The distant earth that it once loved.

       E           Ebm               Db   
The stars will sing a song,

   F#             Bb                Ebm            Db        F   
For all the humans who got lost inside themselves...

   Fm      Db      F#          Abm         E          B   
And left the whole wide world to burn in hell.
