Make It Stop (September's Children)

Am    C G Dm
Woah, woooooah
Am    C G Dm
Woah, woooooah

( Am  C  G  D  Dm )
( Am  C  G  D  Dm )

Am                   C
 Bang, bang, go the coffin nails
          G                   D      Dm
 Like a breath exhaled, then gone forever
Am                   C
 It seems like just yesterday
G                    D    Dm   Am
 How did I miss the red flags raised?

                    C
 Think back, to the days we laughed
      G                   D       Dm
 We braved these bitter storms together
Am                C
 Brought to his knees, he cried
G            D   Dm  F
 But on his feet he died

       G                Am
 What God would damn a heart?
           C             F
 And what God drove us apart?
       G
 What God could

Am         C            G
 Make it stop, let this end
           D                   Am
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
                C                  G
 It's come to this, a weightless step
         Dm
 On the way down singing

  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah
  F     F G G7
 Woah, woooooah

[Primeira Parte]

Am                      C
 Bang, bang, from the closet walls
        G                     D        Dm
 The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun's loaded
Am           C
 Push me and I'll push back
G                 D Dm Am
 I'm done asking, I demand

               C
 From a nation under God
G                        D       Dm
 I feel its love like a cattle prod
Am                   C
 I'm born free but still they hate
G                 D  Dm     F
 I'm born me, no, I can't change

      G               Dm
 It's always darkest just before the dawn
      F              G
 So stay awake with me
                    Am
 Let's prove them wrong

           C            G
 Make it stop, let this end
           D                   Am
 Eighteen years pushed to the ledge
                C                  G
 It's come to this, a weightless step
         Dm
 On the way down singing

  Am    C G Dm
 Woah, woooooah
  F     F G G7
 Woah, woooooah


[Segunda Parte]

Am               G
 The cold river washed him away
      Em              F
 But how could we forget?
     Am             G
 The gathering hold candles
F
 But not their tongues

      Am                  G
 And too much blood has flown from the wrist
          Em                 F                   Am
 Of the children shamed for those they chose to kiss
           G                 F
 Who will rise to stop the blood
               Am              C
 We're calling for, insisting on
              F                       Am
 A different beat, yeah, a brand new song

 Make it stop, let this end
                  D                   Am
 This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin
               C             G
 But proud I stand, of who I am
            Dm
 I plan to go on living

Am         C            G
 Make it stop, let this end
            D                   Am
 All these years pushed to the ledge
               C             G
 But proud I stand, of who I am
            Dm
 I plan to go on living
