Verse 1:
Dm Bb F C
Do you know what's worth fighting for
Dm Bb F C
When it's not worth dying for?
Dm Bb F C
Does it take you breath away
Bb C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm Bb F C
Does the pain weight out the pride?
Dm Bb F C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm Bb F C
Does someone break your heart inside?
Bb C
You're in ruins
Chorus 1:
F C/E Dm
One, 21 guns
C Bb
Lay down your arms
F C
Give up the fight

One, 21 guns

Throw up your

arms into the sky

Verse 2:
Dm Bb F C
When you're at the end of the road
Dm Bb F C
And you lost all sense of control
Dm Bb F C
And your thoughts have taken their toll
Bb C
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Dm Bb F C
Your faith walks on broken glass
Dm Bb F C
And the hangover doesn't pass
Dm Bb F C
Nothing's ever built to last
Bb C
You're in ruins
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
Dm Bb F C
Did you try to live on your own
Dm Bb F A
When you burned down the house and home?
Dm Bb F A
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Bb C
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone
