Architects Tabulatur von Rise Against

Am                                  G
Are there no fighters left here any more?
Am                                       G
Are we the generation we've been waiting for?
          Dm
Or are we patiently burning
        Em    Am               G
Waiting to be saved?
Am                                      G
Our heroes and icons have mellowed with age
Am                                 G
Following rules that they once disobeyed
Dm
They're now being led
                  Em       Am
When they used to lead the way

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am                                                G
They laid out the blueprints, they poured down a base
Am                               G
Concrete solutions to slow our decay
Dm
And when they are gone
                     Em         Am             G
Who the f*ck's gonna take their place?
Am                                 G
Will it be the cynics, the critics galore?
Am                                 G
Cliche apathetic passed out on the floor
Dm                                   Em    Am
The trusting complicit who collectively ignore

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
        F                 C
Are you out there on the front lines
   G               Am           G
Or at home keeping score?
       F              C            G                     Am
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate?
             F                          G
Or would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Am
Don't you remember when you were young
Am                                 Dm
And you wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em              Am
Somewhere deep down, I know you do
Am
And don't you remember when we were young
Am                                Dm
And we wanted to set the world on fire?
               Em             Am
Because I still am and I still do
        G                  F
Make no mistake we are not afraid
            C
To bear the burden of repeating
             Am
What they're thinking anyway
                G                    F
Let's raise the stakes on the bet we made
         C
Let's decide to be the architects
                   Am                G
The masters of our fate

       F                C
Do you still believe in all the things
     G               Em
that you stood by before?
    F           C
And after everything we've seen here
G          Am           G
Maybe even more
       F                  C        G               Am
And I know we're not the only ones we were not the first
             F                             G              Am
Unapologetically we'll stand behind each word
