VERSE:

Play it with Chords


Dm       A#                F        C
  Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm          A#        F     C
  When it's not worth dying for?
Dm        A#        F      C
  Does it take your breath away
         A#                C
And you feel yourself suffocating?

Dm         A#         F        C
  Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm        A#          F        C
  And you look for a place to hide?
Dm        A#             F      C
  Did someone break your heart inside?
 A#
You're in ruins

CHORUS:

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

VERSE:

Dm          A#     F          C
  When you're at the end of the road
Dm        A#       F             C
  And you lost all sense of control
Dm        A#            F            C
 And your thoughts have taken their toll
         A#                              C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm     A#             F        C
  Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm         A#      F        C
  And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm          A#   F         C
  Nothing's ever built to last
 A#
You're in ruins.


CHORUS:


One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

BRIDGE:


Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

  Something inside this heart has died

You're in ruins.
