Verse 1
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#(C5 C5)
You're in ruins

Verse 2
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# (C5 C5)
You're in ruins.

About this song: 21 Guns

Billie Joe Armstrong told Q magazine: "It brings up 21st Century Breakdown in a lot of ways, and the 21 gun-salute for someone that's fallen, but done in an arena rock 'n' roll sort of way." Source (21 Guns Songfacts).Read more on Last.fm.
