Em        C           G
My God is better than yours
        Em          C            G  
And the walls of my house are so thick
       Dsus2      C
I hear nothing at all
  G            Dsus2      Em
I followed you out in the storm
C      G           Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
But it carried you off
C     G            Dsus2      Em
And I burned every picture of yours
C              Dsus2
Was that not enough?


[Verse 2]

Em        C           G
My gun is bigger than yours
         Em      C
So let's arm the masses
    G            Dsus2       C
And see what the bastards do then
        G         Dsus2   Em
Walking tall once set us apart
C         G           Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Now we're down on all fours
C      G      Dsus2       Em
Do you cry my name in the dark
C         Dsus2
Like I do yours?


[Pre-Chorus]

Am                       Em
These storms are getting stronger now
G                    Dsus2
Trusses all bend and sway
    Am                  Em                    Dsus2
The Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray


[Chorus]

       C     Dsus2 Em
As the waves crash high
        G         Dsus2
And the shoreline disappears
       C             Em
I will scream to the sky
      Dsus2 (let it ring)
"Hey, people live here."


[Instrumental]

Em C G  x2


[Verse 2]

Em            C          G
My dreams are not unlike yours
          Em      C
They long for the safety
    G            Dsus2       C
And break like a glass chandelier
            G            Dsus2       Em
But there's laughter and oh there is love
C             G           Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Just past the edge of our fears
C           G          Dsus2         Em
And there's chaos when push comes to shove
C                    Dsus2
But it's music to my ears


[Pre-Chorus]

Am            Em                G                  Dsus2
May you be in Heaven before the Devil knows you're dead
Am                 Em             Dsus2
May these winds be always at your back


[Chorus]

                  C   Dsus2 Em
'Cause when we're all just ghosts
        G           Dsus2
And the madness overtakes us
        C           Em
We will look at the ashes
         Dsus2 (let it ring)
And say, "People lived here."


[Short Cello Part]

Dsus2 (Release the palm muting slowly)
Em Dsus2 C
Em Dsus2 C


[Bridge]


         Em  Dsus2        G
From the penthouse to the holy martyr
Em      Dsus2  C
Sea to shining sea
         Em Dsus2        G
From the coffins full of kindergartners
Em           Dsus2    C
Is this what you call free?
         Em Dsus2             G
From the hate that drips from all your crosses
Em       Dsus2     C
Are your hands so clean?
        Em  Dsus2         G
And the wildfire and it's spreading far
     Em     Dsus2   C     Dsus2
From sea to shining sea


[Chorus]

           C   Dsus2 Em
When we're all just ghosts
        G           Dsus2 
And the madness overtakes us
       C             Em             D
I will scream to the sky, yeah I'll scream to the sky
          C             Em
Yeah I'll scream to the sky
      Dsus2              Em
"Hey, people live here."
