[Am]Bang bang go the coffi[C]n nails,
like a [G]breath exhaled
Then [Dm]gone forever
[Am]It seems like just yeste[C]rday,
[G]how did I miss the red flags rai[Am]se?
Think back to the [C]days we laughed
We [G]braved these bitter [Dm]storms together
[Am]Then brought to his knee[C]s he cried
[G]But on his feet he

And what God drove us a[F]part?

[Chorus 1]

Eighteen [Dm]years pushed to the [Am]ledge
It's come to [C]this, a weightless [G]step
On the [Dm]way down singing

[Verse 2]
[Am]Bang bang from the close[C]t walls
The [G]schoolhouse halls

[Dm]just before the dawn
So [F]stay awake with [G]me, let's prove them

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]The cold river washe[G]d him away
But [C]how could we for[F]get
The [Am]gatherings hold [G]candles
[F]but not their tongues
And [Am]too much blood has f[G]lown from the wrist
Of the [C]children shamed
for [F]those they chose to [Am]kiss
Who will [G]rise to stop the [F]blood
We're calling [Am]for, insisting [C]on
A different [F]beat, yeah
A [G]brand new

And proud I [C]stand, of who I [G]am
I plan to [Dm]go on living

[Chorus 4]
[Am](Woah) Make it [C]stop, let this [G]end
All these [Dm]years pushed to the ledge
[Am](Woah) But proud I [C]stand, of who I [G]am
I plan to [Dm]go on living
