Behind Closed Doors by Rise Against
It sounds best with Capo 1 and Capo 2
Em D
Chairs thrown and tables toppled,
C G
Hands armed with broken bottles,
A D
Standing no chance to win but,
C D
We're not running, We're not running,
Em D C G A D C D x1
Em D
There's a point I think we're missing,
C G
It's in the air we raise our fists in,
A D
In the smiles we cast each other,
C D
My sister, my brother,
Em D
About the time we gave up hoping,
C G
We never find these locks still open,
A D
Stumbling on stones unturned,
C D Em D
The hurt we feel, we all have earned,
C G A
The lines we cross in search of change,
D C D Em
But all they see is treason,
Chorus:
D C D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em G C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,

C D Em
Behind closed doors,
Em D
Bonfires burn like beacons,
C G
Guiding the lost and weakened,
A D
Flames dance on crashing waves,
C D
Guiding ships who've gone astray,
Em D C
Time out, let's stop to think this through,
G A
We've all got better things to do,
D C
Than talk in circles, run in place,
D Em
Answers inches from our face,
[Chorus]
C x3 D x3 C x3 D x3 Em D Em D
C x3 D x3
Black eyes, broken fingers,
C x3 D x3 Em
Blood drips and I let it run,
D Em D
Down my lips into my swollen gums,
C x3 D x3
When hope is nonexistent,
C x3 D x3 Em
Our instincts all scream "Run!"
D Em D C
We never turn our backs or even bite our tongues,
[Chorus]
D C D Em G C
Although we have no obligation to stay alive,
D Em G C
On broken backs we beg for mercy, we will survive,
D Em
Breakout, I won't be left here,
C D Em
Behind closed doors,
