F#m
You wake up
F#m
Watch the world go 'round
E
You shiver
E
Feeling upside down
F#m
Your heart is beating fast
F#m
Pumping blood to your head
E
Another day to fight
D                                               C#m
You have a prayer on your lips under the desert sun
            F#m
And a loaded gun

F#m
You remember every word
F#m
That your father said
E
Stay out of trouble son
E
And be true to yourself
F#m
You’ll be working like a dog
F#m
Raise a family
E
And life will be alright
D                                                      C#m

F#m
It was a quiet day
F#m
On the streets of hope
E
When the bomb went off
E
At the side of the road
F#m
Sounds of breaking steel
F#m
An windshield full of blood
E
No enemy in sight
D                                           C#m
It feels like in a movie scenes are passing by

It’s your life
