[Intro]
Am C Dm F
Am C Dm F


[Verse 1]
Am   C                 Dm 
He'd trade his guns for love
         F                    Am 
But he's caught in the crossfire
    C               Dm 
And he keeps wakin' up
         F                  Am
But it's not to the sound of birds
    C           Dm 
The tyranny, the violent streets
F                         Am
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
    C           Dm      F
And we can't get enough, no


[Chorus]
              Am      C
Heaven if you sent us down
                    Dm          F
So we could build a playground
        Am                 C
For the sinners to play as saints
         Dm                     F
You'd be so proud of what we've made
               Am                 C
I hope you got some beds around
                      Dm         F
Cause you're the only refuge now
          Am            C           Dm
For every mother, every child, every brother
F                   Am   C     Dm                     
That's caught in the crossfire
F                   Am   C     Dm 
That's caught in the crossfire

[Verse 2]
Am  C               Dm 
I'd trade my luck to know
    F                      Am 
Why he's caught in the crossfire
   C               Dm 
And I'm here wakin' up
       F                   Am 
To the sun and the sound of birds
  C      Dm 
Society's anxiety
F                         Am 
Deprived of all that we're blessed with
C                Dm      F
We just can't get enough, no!


[Chorus]
              Am      C
Heaven if you sent us down
                    Dm          F
So we could build a playground
        Am                 C
For the sinners to play as saints
         Dm                     F
You'd be so proud of what we've made
               Am                 C
I hope you got some beds around
                      Dm         F
Cause you're the only refuge now
          Am            C           Dm
For every mother, every child, every brother
F                   Am   C     Dm                     
That's caught in the crossfire
F                   Am   C     Dm 
That's caught in the crossfire

[Bridge]
F    G             Am      
Can I trust what I'm given?
     C                  F
When faith still needs a gun
G         Am    C            F
Whose ammunition justifies the wrong?
      G                 Am
And I can't see from the backseat
       C          F
So I'm asking from above
      G             Am     Dm
Can I trust what I'm given, even when it cuts?


[Chorus]
              F      G
Heaven if you sent us down
                    Am         C
So we could build a playground
        F                 G
For the sinners to play as saints
         Am                      C
You'd be so proud of what we've made
               F                 G
I hope you got some beds around
                      Am          C
Cause you're the only refuge now
          F            G           Am
For every mother, every child, every brother
C                  F   G   Am   
Who's caught in the crossfire
C                  F   G   Am  
Who's caught in the crossfire
C                  F   G   Am  
Who's caught in the crossfire   (Woaaah Woaaah)
C                  F   G   Am  
Who's caught in the crossfire
C                  F   G   Am 
Who's caught on the cross
