Am
Chairs thrown and tables toppled
F
Hands armed with broken bottles
Dm
Standing no chance to win but
F                 G                 Am F Dm F G
We're not runnin' we're not runnin'

Am
There's a point I think we're missin'
F
It's in the air we raise our fists in
Dm
In the smiles we cast each other
F          G
My sister, my brother

Am
About the time we gave up hope and
F
We never find these locks still open
Dm
Stumbling on stones unturned
F                 G                 Am F
The hurt we feel, we all have found

                Dm                            F             G           Am
The lines we've crossed in search of change, but all they see is treason

F            G             Am       C        F
 Although we have no obligation, to stay alive
          G                Am        C          F
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
           G            Am
(Break out) I won't be left here
C             F     G
Behind closed doors

Am
Bonfires burn like beacons
F
Guiding the lost and weakened
Dm
Flames dance on crashing waves
F                   G
Guiding ships who've gone a stray

Am
Time out, let's stop and think this through
F
We've all got better things to do
Dm                            F
A talk in circles run in place
        G                  Am
Answers inches from my face

F            G             Am       C        F
 Although we have no obligation, to stay alive
          G                Am        C          F
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
           G            Am
(Break out) I won't be left here
C             F     G  Am
Behind closed doors

F
 Black eyes, broken fingers,
                         Am                                     F
Blood drips and I let it run down my lips and to my swollen gums

When hope is non-existent
                         Am
Our instincts all scream "Run"
                                               F
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongue


F            G             Am       C        F
 Although we have no obligation, to stay alive
          G                Am        C          F
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive
           G            Am
(Break out) I won't be left here
C             F     G  Am
Behind closed doors
F            G             Am       C        F
 Although we have no obligation, to stay alive
          G                Am        C          F
