Verse:
Am        F           C     C
My god is better than yours.
        Am          F            C            G          F
And the walls of my house are so thick I hear nothing at all.
  C            G          Am   F         C        G G F
I followed you out in the storm but it carried you off.
      C            G          Am    F    F        G   G G G
And I burned every picture of yours, was that not e-nough?

Am        F           C   C
My gun is bigger than yours,
   Am            F          C            G           F
So letʼs arm the masses and see what the bastards Do then.
C         G        Am    F      C           G       G     F
Walking tall once set us a-part, now weʼre down on all fours.
 C      G           Am     F   F    G         G G G
Do you cry my name in the dark, like I Do yours?

Chorus:
 Dm         Dm      Am       Am   C       C            G      G
These storms are getting stronger now, trusses all bend and sway.
Dm        Dm        Am         Am         G  G G G
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray.
  F     G     Am   Am       C      C      G       G
As the waves crash high and the shoreline disappears,
F   F         F   F      G              Am F C C Am F C C
I will scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here!"

Verse:
Am            F          C    C
My dreams are not unlike yours,
     Am           F          C            G            F
They long for the safety and break like a glass chande-lier.
 C     G           Am    F             C
But thereʼs laughter and oh there is love,
         G       G  F
Just past the edge of our fears.
C          G             Am              F
And thereʼs chaos when push comes to shove,
   F       G    G G G
But itʼs music to my ears.

Chorus:
Dm      Dm    Am     Am         C   C               G   G
May you be in heaven before the de-vil knows youʼre dead.
Dm        Dm       Am    Am         G  G G G
May these winds be always   at your back.
            F   G    Am   Am         C    C      G         G
ʼCause when weʼre all just ghosts  and the madness overtakes us,
 F   F       F   F           G      G    Am F C C Am F C C
We will look at the ashes and say: "People lived here."

Bridge:
         Am   G           C    F
From the penthouse to the holy martyr,
Am     G       F  F
Sea to shining sea,
        Am   G          C     F
From the coffins full of kindergarteners,
   Am        G        F  F
Is this what you call free?
         Am        G          C        F
From the hate that drips from all your crosses,
Am       G        F   F
Are your hands so clean?
          Am       G          C         F
Thereʼs a wildfire and itʼs spreading far,
  Am     G      F  F G G G G
From sea to shining sea.

Outro:
           F   G    Am              C           G
When weʼre all just ghosts  and the madness overtakes us,
       F   F         F   F        G   G         G   G
I will scream to the sky, yeah Iʼll scream to the sky,
          F   F         F   F     G              Am
Yeah Iʼll scream to the sky: "Hey, people live here."
