Intro: [Dm][A#][F][C] (x2)


1st verse:
Dm      A#                F         C
 Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm         A#        F      C
 When it's not worth dying for?
Dm       A#        F       C
 Does it take your breath away
         A#            A#   C        C
 And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm        A#         F        C
 Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm       A#         F         C
 And you look for a place to hide?
Dm       A#             F       C
 Did someone break your heart inside?
           A#      A#    A#  A# -  Cx -
 You're in ruins

 
 
Chorus:
F    C   D 
One, 21 guns
C             A# 
Lay down your arms
F           C     C 
Give up the fight
F    C   D 
One, 21 guns
C             A#   F        C      C 
Throw up your arms into the sky,
        A#     F     C >let ring  (C )
You and I


Verse:
Dm           A#     F           C
 When you're at the end of the road
Dm       A#       F            C
 And you lost all sense of control
Dm        A#            F            C
 And your thoughts have taken their toll
           A#               A#            C      C
 When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm    A#             F       C
 Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm       A#       F        C
 And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm         A#   F         C
 Nothing's ever built to last
           A#      A#    A#  A# -  Cx -
 You're in ruins

        A#           A#     C        C             |
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone   |
