[Verse 1]
[D]The[A]y'r[D]e o[A]ut [D]to[A][D][A]
[D]break us,
[A]out [D]to make us [Bm]crawl
[G]Don't they long to see us
with our [A]backs against the wall?
Must keep [D]on fighting, [A]even [D]if we die[Bm]
They [G]all look down and see
we got our boot[A]s on where we lie
They're out to [D]break us,
don't [A]let them have their way
God [F#m]knows [G]good from evil,
baby [A]what more can I say
[D]New Brickstone's burning,
[A]way[D] up in the[Bm] sky
Can't [G]ain't nobody stop it now,
and [A]still the firemen try
They're out there [D]watching,
[A]stand[D]ing on [Bm]their decks
[G]Thinking what they're headed for
is [A]what we can't protect
They're out [D]to break us,
don't [A]let them have their way
God [F#m]knows [G]good from evil,
baby [A]what more can I [D]say?
Little [Bm]one, don't let them break us
Hold now, little [A]one,
don't let them take us
Little [Bm]one, don't let them break us
Hold now, little [A]one,
don't let them take us
One summer [D]morning,
[A]wak[D]ing out [Bm]of sleep
I [G]saw what we'd struggled for
and what [A]I'd died to keep
They're out [D]to take it,
[A]out [D]to prove us [Bm]wrong
[G]Out to put an end
to why it is [A]that we belong
They're out to [D]break us,
don't [A]let them have their way
God [F#m]knows [G]good from evil, baby [A]what more can [D]I say[A][D]
[Bm][G][A][D][A]
[D][Bm][G][A][Asus4][A][Asus4]
[A][Asus4]
[A]Little one[Bm], don't let them break us
Oh, now, [A]little one,
don't [G]let [A]them take us
Little [Bm]one, don't let them break us
Oh now, [A]little one, don't let them take us
This couldn't [D]hap[A]pen,
[D]that's what we [Bm]were told
Now [G]we see it coming as
we [A]stand here
And the cold might be to[D]morrow
[A]Feel [D]it in [Bm]the air,
you [G]and me and all the rest
We'll [A]find out what we share,
they're out to [D]break us
Don't [A]let them have their way
God [F#m]knows [G]good from evil
Baby, [A]what more can I say?
[D]Oh, God kno[F#m]ws goo[G]d from evil
Baby, [A]what more can I [D]say?
God [F#m]knows good [G]from evil
Baby, [A]what more can I [D]say?[A][D][A]
[D][A][D]
