Intro: Dm Dm - A# A# - F F - C C (x2)

Verse:
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
Do you know what's worth fighting for,
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
When it's not worth dying for?
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
Does it take your breath away
A# A# C C
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
And you look for a place to hide?
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
Did someone break your heart inside?
A# A# C C
You're in ruins

Chorus:
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A#
Lay down your arms
F F C C
Give up the fight
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A# F F C C
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A# A# F F C C
You and I

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

Chorus:
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A#
Lay down your arms
F F C C
Give up the fight
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A# F F C C
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A# A# F F C C
You and I

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

Solo:
F F - C C - D D - C C - A# A# - F F- C C (x2)

A# A# - F F - E E

Break:
Dm Dm - A# A# - F F - C C (x2)

Verse:
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
When it's time to live and let die
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
And you can't get another try
Dm Dm A# A# F F C C
Something inside this heart has died
A# A# C C
You're in ruins.

Chorus:
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A#
Lay down your arms
F F C C
Give up the fight
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A# F F C C
Throw up your arms into the sky
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A#
Lay down your arms
F F C C
Give up the fight
F F C C D D
One, 21 guns
C C A# A# F F C C
Throw up your arms into the sky,
A# A# F F C C
You and I

I think that the chord of "guns" in the chorus is a Dm and not a D ;)
