Yeah this life

In a modern town.

The windows smashed open with the doors kicked out.
     A                      D
It's not a good day left to be in a fight.
    G                         A
Cuz livin is hard through the struggles of life.
   G                       D        G

A   E
Buildings
     G         D                G           D             E

Too many faults no reasons
F             C
The rain that falls dry bleedin

Upon the ashes of our homes, our homes, save our homes
