[Verse 1]
One, [G]two, three, four

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gm][G]

[Verse 2]
[Gm]Gonna make a record in the month of May
In the month of May,
in the month of [G]May
[Cm]Gonna make a record in
the [Eb]month of May
When the [F]violent wind [G]blows
the wires away
[Gm][G]

[Verse 3]
Month of May, it's [Gm]a violent thing
[G]In the city, their hearts start to sing
Well, [Cm]some people sing,
it [Eb]sounds like [F]they're screaming
Used to doubt [G]it but now I believe it

[Verse 4]
[G]
Month of May, everybody's in love
And the city was sent from above
And [C5]just when [Cm]I knew
what I [Eb]wanted to say
The [F]violent wind blew the [G]wires away

[Verse 5]
[G]
We were shocked in the suburbs
Now the kids are all standing
with their arms folded tight
Kids are all standing with
their arms folded tight
Well, [C5]some [Cm]things are pure
and some [Eb]things are right
But [F]the kids are still standing with
[G]their arms folded tight

[Verse 6]
I said [C]some [C5]things are [Cm]pure,
[Eb]and some things are right
But the [F]kids are still standing
with their [G]arms folded tight

[Verse 7]
[G]
So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young
[Cm]Well, I know it's heavy,
[Eb]I know it ain't light
But [F]how you gonna lift it with your
[G]arms folded tight?

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][G]

[Verse 8]
[G]First they built the road
Then they built the town
That's why we're still driving around
And [C]around [Cm]and around and
[Eb]around and around
And [F]around and around and
[G]around and around
And around and around and around

[Verse 9]
and around
[G]2009, 2010 wanna make a
record how I felt then
When [C]we stood out[Cm]side
in the month [Eb]of May
And watched the [F]violent
wind blow the [G]wires away

[Verse 10]
[G]
If I die in the month of May
Let the wind take my body away, [C]yeah
[Cm]Wish I may or wish [Eb]I might
But [F]meet me down there with
my [G]arms folded tight

[Interlude 3]
[G]

[Verse 11]
Start again [G]in the month of May
Start again in the month of May
Come on and blow the
wires [A]away[G]
Come on and blow the wires [A]away
[G]Start again in the

[Verse 12]
month of May
Start again in the month [A]of May
Come [G]on and blow the wires [A]away
[G]Come [A]on and blow the [D]wires [G]away[A]
[G]Start again in the month

[Verse 13]
of May
Start again in the month [A]of May
Come [G]on and blow the wires [A]away
Come [G]on and blow the wires
[A]The wir[G]es away

[Outro 1]
[G][A][G][A][G][G]
