Intro: G, Gsus4 x3
       D, G

(VERSE 1:)

      G      Gsus4
They took my voice
  G       Gsus4    
Erased my past
     G        Gsus4 
With all that noise
   D        G 
It couldn’t last 
     G        Gsus4 
With words so cruel 
  G         Gsus4 
I washed my face
G         Gsus4 
Hoped one day
    Gsus4        D      G 
I’d wake up in a better place 

(CHORUS 1:)

Cadd9
Today I took back what was stolen 
    C/B
And gave new life to what was frozen
Am                 
One mouth talking
  Em 
A dead man walking 
  Dsus4          D
A thousand faces watched me falling —
     Cadd9
I’ve made my peace with what may happen 
 C/B
Accepted I won’t be in fashion 
Am
Oh you gave, I got it 
Em                         Dsus4
Yeh you gave, I got it all back 
D
Since I saw you last

Instrumental break: G, Gsus4 x2

(VERSE 2:)

     G        Gsus4  
When brothers land 
    G           Gsus4
And take what’s good 
        G     Gsus4
You can win a war 
         D      G
Oh, and shed no blood 


(EDD LE EIGHT:)
          Em          Am
Everybody plays their part
              Dsus4  D 
Oh we let the haters hate
                  Em     Am 
While everybody’s losing heart
             Dsus4   D       Dsus4 
Lying in the longest grass I sit and wait


(CHORUS 2:)

Cadd9
Today I took back what was stolen 
    C/B
And gave new life to what was frozen
Am                 
One mouth talking
  Em 
A dead man walking 
  Dsus4          D
A thousand faces watched me falling —
     Cadd9
I’ve made my peace with what may happen 
 C/B
Accepted I won’t be in fashion 
Am
Oh you gave, I got it 
Em                         Dsus4
Yeh you gave, I got it all back 
D
Since I saw you last

For those who stood and watched

D          G
I know you heard my cry for help
D          G 
I know you heard I was going through hell
D          G  
I know you heard I was losing my mind 
D          G 
I know you heard it was a matter of time

D          G  
I know you heard… x4
