Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yesterday I swore to you
we'd [D]go without a fight
But that's before they beat her
down to [Em]let the spark ignite
The cops get to her, laughed at her,
[D]broken on the floor
And when she tried to raise herself,
they [Em]said she wants some more
Our lady is a redhead thing,
[D]fierce and yet serene
But this girl's a fighter,
she's the [Em]bearer of my dreams
Her father was a drinking man,
he'd take his belt to [D]her
And [Bm]since she kicked his [D]balls in,
I'm a [Em]life suburbia
The [G]dice are loaded, the deck is stacked
The [D]game is rigged, she's turning back
[A]Now they are upon us,
the [Em]men who would be king
[G]We hold our love, we hold our hope,
we [D]do no following
[A]Now they are upon us
[Bm]The [Em]men who would be king
So we brace ourselves again
for yet another charge
For [D]plastic shields, iron bars,
and [Em]advertising boards
Against this tide of rising hate
we'll let go of our fears
[D]For every class that infiltrates
we [Em]shed another tear
The [G]dice are low, the deck is stacked,
[D]the game is rich in turn and back
[A]Now they are upon us,
the [Em]men who have became
We [G]hold our love, we hold our hope,
we [D]do not follow it
And [A]now they are upon [D]us
[Em][D][Em]
[D][Em][D][Em]
The [G]dice are loaded, the deck is stacked,
the [D]game is rigged so turn it back
[A]Now they are upon us,
the [Em]men who have became
We [G]hold our love, we hold our hope,
we [D]do no following
But [A]now they are upon us
The [G]dice are loaded, the deck is stacked,
the [D]game is rigged to turn the pack
[A]Now they are upon us,
it's the [Em]man who would be king
We [G]hold our love, we hold our hope,
we [D]do no following
For [A]each and every one of us
Is worth [Em]more than all their kings
