D riff                      
Dear mother,
                            
This is just survival.
                    B             A            
Cannot promise your children everything,
              B               A                    
But you would lie so they can sleep tonight.
D riff                                                   
Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
                   B                   A             
Still 22 days left till the end of the world.
   B          A            E                
My legacy was making you a man
                          G                   
For a justice I could not change.
                         E                
This is one voice not to forget;
                                G       
"Fight every fight like you can win;
                   E              
An iron fisted champion,
        G           D                    
An iron willed fuck up."


    G                   D                                         
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?   
    A                           B                A                
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?  
    G                    D                
Why death is easier than living? 
                  A               
You can be almost anything 
            B               A             
When you're on your fucking knees.
    G                    
Not today,
       D              
Not my son,
       A                 
Not my family,
          B                A                  
Not while walking is still honest,
        G                   D        
And you haven't given up on me.

D riff                      
Dear shithead,
                                   
This isn't happening; 
    B             A               
The sky is really falling,
    B                   A            
The paint's all made of lead,
D riff                                         
There's asbestos in the walls,
                                                      
Hell's come over to rip off the doors
       B          A           B           A                 
To the priveleged mansion.
                        E              
Do you want to love and feel it?
                           G             
You can look but you can't taste it.
                               E           
You can reach but you'll never have it.
         G                    
We are untouchable;
                            D       
Untouchable is something to be.


    G                   D                                         
Can anybody tell me why God won't speak to me?   
    A                           B                A                
Why Jesus never called on me to part the fucking seas?  
    G                    D                
Why death is easier than living? 
                  A               
You can be almost anything 
            B               A             
When you're on your fucking knees.
    G                    
Not today,
       D              
Not my son,
       A                 
Not my family,
          B                A                  
Not while walking is still honest,
        G                   D        
And you haven't given up on me.
        B       A           G          
And you haven't given up on me,
        B       A         D              
And you haven't forgotten me...
