The Airborne Toxic Event – The Kids Are Ready To Die (Guitar)

C                                              F 
All these inanimate places feel like they're changing 

C                                                        G
The kids all lined up on the wall like they're ready to die 

C                                                     F
These arms are sending it's like they just rearrange them 

C                                                       G 
We were caged up like animals, questioned and ready to cry

C                                                F 
Cause I was just 13 when I got my first take of danger 

  C                                                     G 
Standing by the church, I had a bottle and a pen in my hand 

           C                                                          Am
Oh I said "Father, I'm sorry. I just don't know what to do with this anger"

        Dm                                                     G
This behavior is correctable, I know this wasn't part of your plan

            C                                         F
But little fucks like us, we were always receiving instruction 

              C                                                         G
And you could burn off our clothes, you could wash out the ink and the dye

              C                                                          F
But you can't look me in the eye and say you don't feel like a little destruction 

         Am                       G                         C
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die

         Am                       G                         C
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die

C                                               F
All these days just seem like they're getting longer

C                                                G 
The view from our room is a gloomy and overcast grey

    C                                             F
The weakness we left behind seems to be getting stronger

                C                                                         G
I swear there's something in the air, and I don't know what anyone could say

      C                                        F 
Cause I saw the news this morning, there was another

C                                                 G 
Boy by the side of the road, he had a gun in his hand 

           C                                                      Am
I thought "What could you say to make it ever make sense to his mother?"

     Dm                                                       G
Oh ma'am, he was excitable, we were just trying to make him a man 

C                                                           F
But the day will come when it falls like a cheap house of plastic

        C                                                          G
And the cards that were dealt, will be tossed like a storm in the sky

             C                                              F
Cause you can only lie so long before you get something drastic

         Am                       G                         C 
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die

         Am                       G                         C
And the kids are lined up on the wall and they're ready to die
