[Intro 1]
[B][E5][B][G]
[B][G][F][B][F][E5][Em][B]

[Verse 1]
Paint it [B]black
and white if [G]you like,
The story's [Em]still the
[F#]Same.[B]
A generation built on [G]a lie, that
Every [Em]one of u[F#]s is sa[B]fe.
Paint it black an[Em]d white [B]if you[G] like,
If it keep[Em]s you sa[F#]ne.[B]
You know the world won't
just stay [G]right.
So tell me, [Em]who's to [F#]blame?[E5]
[Em]And [E5]I will catch

[Verse 2]
[Em]you,[B]
[Em]but [C]who [Em]migh[E5]t[F]
[E5]Break the [B]fall?
[C]God

[Verse 3]
[B]damn,
I might [G]be the son of [E5]Sam.
The only [Em]child [C]of a hol[C5]y man[D5].[B]
I stand [G]alone for all [E5]to see,
'Cause they ain't [Em]never [C]seen a
[D5]war [Em]like m[B]e.
(Goddamn) Son [E5]of Sam.
[B]
(Goddamn) Son [G]of Sam.
[F][B][F][E5][Em]

[Verse 4]
[B]
Burning buildings fall [G]apart.
Send the be[Em]st, and s[G]end [F#]their [B]love.
Turn away. Goodbye, good[Bm]night.
[G]Go to sleep, n[Em]ow don't[F#] you cry.[B]
Are you afraid your life means [G]less?
Are you con[Em]cerned you [G]might [B]be next?
Its much too soon for me [Bm]to tell,[G]
If you're in [Em]heaven [F#]or in he[E5]ll.
[Em]And [E5]I will cat[Em]ch

[Verse 5]
you,
[B]but[C] wh[Em]o might[F]
[Em]Break the fall?
[B]Goddamn,

[Verse 6]
I might [G]be the son of [E5]Sam.
The [Em]only [C]child of a [D5]holy [B]man.
I stand [G]alone for all [Em]to see,
[E5]'Cause they [Em]ain't never seen[C] a
[D5]war like m[B]e.
(Goddamn) Son [E5]of Sam.
[B]
(Goddamn) Son [G]of Sam.[B][G][F][F5]
[B][F][Em][B][G][Em][C]
(Goddamn)

[Verse 7]
[B]Your ceiling falling piece by [G]pieces,
Raining down like [Em]con [E]crete.
[Em]Just surrender, and [C]remember what
You've done to [C5]me.
[B]Look now, over your shoulder[G].
[B]No, it[Baug]s not ov[G]er.[Em]
Its just [E]begin[Em]ning.
And [G]now light the fire [Am]on
[A5]ending.[B]

[Verse 8]
[B]Goddamn, I might [G]be the son of [Em]Sam.
[E]The onl[Em]y chi[C]ld of a hol[D5]y man[B].
I stand [G]alone for all [E]to see,
'Cause they ain't [Em]never
[C]seen a [C5]war like [B]me

[Verse 9]
Goddamn, I might [G]be the son of [Em]Sam.
The only [C]child of a [B]holy man.
I stand [G]alone for all [E]to see,
'Cause [Em]they ain't never
[C]seen a [D]war [B]like me.

[Verse 10]
[G]
Son of Sam.
[Em]Son of Sam.
'Cause they ain't never
[C]seen a [C5]war like [B]me.[G]
Son of Sam.

[C]seen a [C5]war l[B]ike [G]me.
Son of [Em]Sam.

[C]seen a [D]war [B]like [G]me.
