Chords

The key might not be right but these are the chords I play. They work for singing along. [Verse 1]
G                                                  Em
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die

                                             C
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites

                                                 D
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light
On the glass was a better life [Verse 2]
G
Staring at a hole in your chest

                           Em
That's been dug there for decades
American broken promises
C
Caught between the lies you've been fed

                     D
And a war with your bloodstream

                                           G    Em   C
I should have been there when you needed a friend

      D          G  Em  C   D        G  Em  C
I was off on my own a---gai-n

D                   G  Em  C  D
Selfish and stupid
[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in

             Em
I swear I'll never let you down again

            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Verse 3]
G
I had that nightmare again

                  Em
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell

                        C
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings

                    D
And I beat you half-conscious

                                       G   Em  C
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat

D             G     Em  C  D
I want those years back
[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again

            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Bridge]
G                Em
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers

G                Em
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again

            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again
[Chorus]
           G
So if you call me back or let me in

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again

            G
I know the devil you've been fighting with

              Em
I swear I'll never let you down again

      C             D     G
I'll never let you down again
